I don't want to live forever, I'd rather pass through
This body that gives me access to a world in bloom
The wonder of my surroundings, is all part of me
The joy found in daily living, look at the trees!
Today I picked up a small piece of the sun
It was too hot so I threw it away
Yesterday I was feeling dumb
And today I have nothing to say
It's so much better to be dead
Cuz I'm living life dead on the inside
So much better to be dead
Feeling so dead on the inside
Calling all the daughters, calling all the sons, we don't wanna be dead on the inside
I do want to live forever!
Please shatter my ego gently
I cannot take for granted!
This life that I inhabit
