歌词

"If I go back when I'm dead
To the state where I was before I was born
Couldn't I happen again?
You know, what has happened once can very well happen again
If it happened once, it's extraordinary
And it's not really very much more extraordinary
If it happened all over again"
"I do know for certain because I've seen people die
And I've seen people born after them
So after I die
Not only somebody but myriads of other beings will be born
Then I know, we all know that, there's no doubt
But what worries us is that when we're dead
There could be nothing at all forever
As if that were something to worry about"
"Before you were born
There was this same nothing at all forever and yet you happened
And if you happened once you can happen again
Now what does that mean?"
This story has an end
But I'm not brave enough to write it yet
Put the words down on paper
Have the blood quit pumping
I'll always be by your side
All the shows and the late nights
Let these six strings never wear thin
Memorialized in sine waves
It was always gonna come to this
As terminal lucidity sings to me
Circle back in death I shall
Through sonic terror I will live forever
Out your speakers from the other side
Valhalla beware
Begin to prepare
A fight I was never supposed to win
Let these mortal lines speak instead
Heavy headed and still hungover
And jealousy is still hell
The rain never came and it never will
Just the same, my reflection has no name
And the violent sound still rings out
Born with nothing to die the same
