When It Dies

sorry it's late
I'm still shaking off dismay
once again it reared its head
tried to take the day
it wants to swallow everything
Go crawling up your spine
Get itself in everywhere
take over your mind

but this is a song you can sing when it dies
while it's pissing and it's moaning
while we're laughing and we're crying
since we're never together in the bye and bye
I've left you a song to sing when it dies

in the perils of the present
It is rapping at your door
The side effect of experimental
medicines you're on
It chases you through picture frames
and keeps you from sun
breaks you in a million pieces like it already won

all we ever really want is not to be forgotten

sick is gonna catch you
even if you run
the best remedy that I have
is to hope you sing along

but this is a song you can sing when it dies
while it's pissing and it's moaning
while we're laughing and we're crying
since we're never together in the bye and bye
I've left you a song to sing when it dies

all we ever really want is not to be forgotten
