I’m dead awake
There are thoughts that cross my mind
I just can’t take
And I’ve taught myself to just push them away
I was only 5
Why was I thinking ‘bout what happens when I die?
I know it's only human nature to survive
But I don’t think the other
Kids on the playground
Thought about how
Maybe something happened in a past life
Didn’t make it over 25
And I can feel it when I’m living this one
The fact that some day I’m gonna die
Maybe in a hundred different lifetimes
Woke up in the next one unfulfilled
By the time I found myself in this world
Death was at the head of all I built
Plays in my head
What it looks like when I finally reach the end
Will I be old and bitter
Will I play pretend?
But I don’t think my friends are
Worried about how
Maybe something happened in a past life
Didn’t make it over 25
And I can feel it when I’m living this one
The fact that some day I’m gonna die
Maybe in a hundred different lifetimes
Woke up in the next one unfulfilled
By the time I found myself in this world
Death was at the head of all I built
Maybe something happened in a past life
Didn’t make it over 25
I can feel it when I’m living this one
The fact that some day I’m gonna die
Maybe in a hundred different lifetimes
Woke up in the next one unfulfilled
By the time I found myself in this world
Death was at the head of all I built
