MAYFLY 03:36
LIVE LIKE A MAYFLY CUTTING THROUGH THE SKIES IT’S LIVING LIKE A KING AND IT DOESN’T CARE IF IT DIES LIVE EVERY DAY AS IF IT WAS THE LAST IF YOU MEET DEATH SMILE BACK IN CASE IT LAUGHS JUST LIKE A RAINDROP RUSHING THROUGH THE AIR DESCENDING IN THE OCEAN SINKING WITHOUT CARE YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL, DRY AS A BONE! Refrain: Getting through life running in circles Worrying about the mindless cycle Don’t count your time like the hour’s hand If you waste it all away BLESS THE PRESENT DAY EMBRACE IT WHILE IT LASTS TOMORROW’S FACE IS SHADED YESTERDAY IS OF THE PAST PLAY YOUR CARDS RIGHT AND THROW YOUR DICE JUST SAY... ALL IN AND YOUR LIFE SLIPS AWAY AND YOU WALK ASTRAY You walk astray...as life slips away! YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL DRY AS A BONE! YOU’RE A FOSSIL, A SHELL, AGED IN STONE YOU’VE DRAINED YOUR SOUL DRY AS A BONE! LIVE LIKE A METEOR CRUSHING IN THE EARTH BURNING LIKE THE SUN BUT IT DOESN’T CARE HOW IT HURTS ENJOY EVERY MOMENT LIKE IT DOES WHEN IT FALLS DON’T THINK ABOUT THE END FORGET ABOUT THE SCARS THINK LIKE A MOTH SEEKING BRIGHT FLAMES SUDDENLY YOUR LIFE BURSTS UP AND THATS THE END OF YOUR GAME WE LIVE A SHORT LIFE AND WE FACE THIS WHEN IT ENDS IF YOU PLAY YOURS RIGHT OR WRONG ON YOUR CONSCIENCE IT ALL HANGS Open your eyes and play your cards Open your mind and throw your dice Live like a mayfly, cut the skies...

I ponder of something great My lungs will fill and then deflate They fill with fire Exhale desire I know it's dire My time today I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence Sometimes quiet is violent I find it hard to hide it My pride is no longer inside It's on my sleeve My skin will scream Reminding me of Who I killed inside my dream I hate this car that I'm driving There's no hiding for me I'm forced to deal with what I feel There is no distraction to mask what is real I could pull the steering wheel I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence I ponder of something terrifying 'Cause this time there's no sound to hide behind I find over the course of our human existence One thing consists of consistence And it's that we're all battling fear Oh dear, I don't know if we know why we're here Oh my, Too deep Please stop thinking I liked it better when my car had sound There are things we can do But from the things that work there are only two And from the two that we choose to do Peace will win And fear will lose There's faith and there's sleep We need to pick one please because Faith is to be awake And to be awake is for us to think And for us to think is to be alive And I will try with every rhyme To come across like I am dying To let you know you need to try to think I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence And now I just sit in silence And now I just sit I ponder of something great My lungs will fill and then deflate They fill with fire Exhale desire I know it's dire My time today I have these thoughts So often I ought To replace that slot With what I once bought 'Cause somebody stole My car radio And now I just sit in silence
