lyrics

Up in the sky is airplanes and clouds
not the people who died, cause they're in the ground
and they're all still alive, just not at the moment
and so it goes
I think I agree, for lack of a better theory
I wouldn't know, but it makes me happy
and that's all that counts, it keeps out the ulcers
I get from thinking
that hell is a place that someone would send me
for having my doubts about magic zombies
and that's not to say I've something against it
that's not what I mean
but I can accept when you flee the scene
you're a broken machine just an empty body
but why should that mean the things you said yesterday
cease to matter?
And you could suggest that I'm full of shit
because I rarely let myself think about it
and these are the songs I refuse to write
I can't be exploitative
but this is the truth and it doesn't seem sane
just to block out the shit that envelopes my brain
and I have earned the right, I'm not screaming for pity
Just acknowledgment
You're alive, just not at the moment
and that shouldn't negate all that came before it
you're always alive in 30 years prior
and so it goes.
