lyrics

And when I die, my footprints will be erased
My words and screams will fade away
No one will remember by name or face
Repeat after me, "And that's okay!"

And when we die, we'll just decompose
And insects will make nests out of our bones
We'll be together until the sun explodes
Repeat after me, "We're not alone!"

And when we die, we'll be free!
From this never ending cycle of mediocrity
From disappointment! From c'est la vie!
Ready?

I'm not afraid! I'm not okay!
But I'm getting better everyday!
And I'm not waiting for some kind of sign
My life is mine and only mine!
If there's a God, he's just like me
Scared and fucking lonely!
I'm not afraid to be forgotten
Because we're not here to sign our names
But to scream and shout them

I don't know what I'm gonna do
I don't know if I ever want to
I'm alive and that's just fine with me
