Lyrics
One day you'll look up at the ceiling above, if you’re lucky you'll be surrounded by the ones that you love, when The lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by One day you're going to die One day you’ll sleep and you'll never wake again Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing, no one knows how it ends Rest in peace or pieces and won't even know why One day you're going to die Read your horoscopes, your palms and tarot cards Either way you destination ain't that far You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but something will eventually One day you'll look back at the life that you lead No more future left to fear that you'll have the past to regret But your worries will be over when you truly realize that one day you’re going to die Take it away, hands In the fabric of time, and in the vastness of space, a billion amounts to nothing in infinity’s face At most a couple generations will remember the ways in which your life never mattered, so who cares if it's a waste? One day you’ll be not even a faint memory No, at most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree Your history's not yours to see, nor is your eulogy You'll never know what this sh*t means But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind: that everything and everyone goes with the pa**age of time So whether it’s cancer, murder, or suicide
