before James died he smiled and laughed
cuz he was just photographed
for the last time
while it was drowned the kitten purred
at least that's what i thought i heard
but maybe that's cuz i need to believe
in the absurd
ashes to ashes
after the planet crashes
i trust all dust
will turn to dust
i used to think a wasted life
was not a crime
that's before i realized
we don't have very much more time
my melodies are maladies
my poetries are just phonetic
trying to make sense of this world
is preposterous pathetic
the gods have had their fun playing this world
but now its too upsetting
the human race is not worth watching
or wagering on
we're just a longshot
an underdog
with odds so bad now it's just a bloodletting
so every deity with dignity
has just stopped betting
so follow me into a world
of anything you've ever dreamed
now that morality is blurred
if you listen really closely
you'll probably believe in every single word
mesmerized by rhetorical
and memorized historical events
that never actually occured
we're not blind
we're bound and binded
our minds have been land minded
and i'm so excited
every single person on this planet
thinks they are right
cuz if you thought that you were wrong
you'd change your mind fuck from black to white
i do believe in true romance
so i'm gonna dance and fight and fuck
with every moment
i'll always have something in my glass to raise
to make a toast for those making the most
of the last days
nothing is ever gonna change
nothing will ever be okay
nothing is ever gonna change
nothing will ever be okay
there's only a finite number of tomorrows
and it's not a lot
but it's all we really got
it's all we really got
live each precious moment
that we can manage to carve out of each day
so when it's time for us to die
we can say our short goodbye
there is no sadness
if there's no one left to cry
