How’d You Do

Lyrics
How’d you do Did you give it all you had Did you dig for what was good Before deciding… How’d you do Did you give ‘em hell Did you grab life by the horns Or did it grab you by the belt I did But it took a lot There were things that almost got me Things I almost got Oh man Did you stir up love? Did you find that certain person You’re now thinking of My bad It’ll take some time But they’ll get here when they get here For now they’re just alive oh man You can keep an eye But it's best to let your hands uncurl This takes me back to… This and that and this and that Chasing rabbits like a rat Dеath behind us like a cat And love thе thing that shakes the grass This and that and this and that Can’t remember things I had The only thing we all regret Is putting love in second place These the ramblings of the dead Let’s talk about you instead Tell us more of what went down It sounds like you were up and down That is to say... How’d you do How’d you do down there Did you show ‘em what you’re made of Did you really make ‘em stare Sure did There’s a price to pay They stared while I was there Now they can’t look away Oh man Did they feed you to plants Did you move around the planet Pockets full of hands Not quite Not quite like that Fidgeting and tapping Was how I used my hands Oh man How’d you get that far Life have me a dragon So I built harness Wow not bad So you used the pain? No the pain was never useful But I called it by its name That worked Put a saddle on its back Doesn’t mean it never bit me But I could bite it back Nice work So you made the best Yeah I made the best Of this and that and this and that Chasing rabbits like a rat Death behind us like a cat and Love the thing that shakes the grass This and that and this and that Can’t remember things I had The only thing we all regret Is putting love in second place Magnets, lightning, falling down Strong and weak and nothing else Somehow led to us and now And somehow led to all things else Thought that death would makes things clear Now I see there’s nothing here So life is really all there is And even still is no big deal Everything is in the dome Bitter cold and heaven’s warmth Love and sadness, what’s at stake No reason not to do... Why not leave and make it end Why not stay, see how it ends Life and death are both just dust There’s nothing that you must Why not this and why not that We do not have answers yet If everything is all the same Then why not stay and play the game People start to wonder why Mostly when there’s pain inside Asking why is part of hurting Why ask why when things are perfect Rather than that endless game I’ll just step out of my brain Use the hands and feel the dirt I don’t ask why unless things hurt Ask a child as it plays "What’s the point of this small game?" The question doesn’t linger long When everyone is having fun Rather than attempt the feat Of asking what’s the point of me I’ll run away at lightning speed Until life stabs me in the knee I know what comes eventually I know what comes eventually I wish the best to everyone To all of us I'll say: "Good luck!"
