lyrics

You sit
In your living room
desperately
clinging to the thought
that you're doing great

You say
You'll be famous
One fine day
When the chance is caught
Till then you gotta wait

No need for challenging the path

Are you scared of being alive?
Are you frightened of dying inside?
Well don't you worry
I'm in no hurry
To die to die to die
But your finger
it will linger
to the sky to the sky to the sky

They go
In and out of your life
Say you'll do well
Let them handle the rest
It isn't worth the sweat

And when
You can't catch up with time
You will claim
That you did your best
And you'll take what you can get

No need for challenging the norm
(no need for challenging the scorn)

Are you scared of being alive?
Are you frightened of dying inside?
Well don't you worry
I'm in no hurry
To die to die to die
But your finger
it will linger
to the sky to the sky to the sky

And you wonder why you feel pain
And you wonder why you feel shame
And you wonder why you ain't glad
And why the world thinks you're so sad

As the sands of time commence
As death approaches in a trance
You'll claim you've lived the greatest life
Knowing sacrifice and strife

But as the seconds tick away
You get more alone by the day
And you notice there's no one left
To hear your lies and mental theft

What was it like
to be a parasite?
To think you're heaven-sent
Granted holy light

But you're nothing more than what you started
Still a baby, still departed
Can't you see your life was what
you made it out to be?

A lazy sack of fail and fat who lost all company?

Were you scared of being alive?
Were you frightened of dying inside?
Well don't you worry
I'm in no hurry
To die to die to die
But your finger
it just lingered
to the sky to the sky to the sky
