[00:13.91] Is this how I die? [00:18.36] Ridiculed and laughed at [00:21.58] Wearing clown shoes [00:28.86] Is this how I die? [00:33.29] Furious and reckless [00:35.87] Sick with booze [00:42.15] How did I live? [00:45.38] I taste every wasted minute [00:50.04] Every time I turned away [00:57.52] From the things that might have healed me [01:02.32] How long have I been sleeping? [01:08.68] Is this how I die? [01:13.87] Frightened like a child [01:16.84] Lazy and numb [01:22.86] Is this how I die? [01:26.85] Pretending and preposterous [01:30.74] And dumb [01:35.00] How did I live? [01:39.06] Was I kind enough and good enough? [01:43.11] Did I love enough? [01:48.77] Did I ever look up and see the moon and the stars and the sky? [01:58.03] Oh, why have I been sleeping? [02:03.38] They say we are asleep until we fall in love [02:12.01] We are children of dust and ashes [02:17.54] But when we fall in love we wake up [02:23.02] And we are a god and angels weep [02:30.62] But if I die here tonight [02:36.76] I die in my sleep [02:47.26] All of my life I spent searching the words of poets and saints and prophets and kings [02:53.05] Now at the end all I know that I've learned is that all that I know is I don't know a thing [02:57.91] So easy to close off [03:00.17] Place the blame outside [03:03.22] Hiding in my room at night [03:05.89] So terrified [03:08.53] All the things I could've been [03:10.92] But I never had the nerve [03:13.97] Life and love, I don't deserve [03:18.99] So alright! [03:20.20] Alright! [03:21.71] I've had my time [03:24.12] Close my eyes [03:26.12] Let the death bells chime! [03:29.00] Bury me in burgundy [03:32.19] I just don't care! [03:34.46] Nothing's left [03:36.46] I looked everywhere! [03:39.14] Is this how I die? [03:41.71] Was there ever any other way my life could be? [03:48.07] Is this how I die? [03:52.71] Such a slough of feelings inside of me [03:58.62] But then why am I screaming? [04:02.04] Why am I shaking? [04:05.74] Oh god, was there something that I missed? [04:10.51] Did I squander my divinity? [04:16.25] Was happiness within me the whole time? [04:24.08] They say we are asleep until we fall in love [04:31.63] We are children of dust and ashes [04:36.96] But when we fall in love we wake up [04:42.85] And we are a god and angles weep [04:49.89] But if I die here tonight [04:55.42] I die in my sleep [05:05.26] They say we are asleep until we fall in love [05:16.77] And I'm so ready [05:22.25] To wake up now [05:26.06] I wanna wake up [05:28.40] Don't let me die while I'm like this [05:32.87] I wanna wake up [05:35.93] God, don't let me die while I'm like this [05:41.60] Please let me wake up now [05:45.17] God, don't let me die while I'm like this [05:50.05] I'm ready [05:54.22] I'm ready [06:02.60] To wake up [06:18.05]
