lyrics

The examined life. We examined life to see how it works.
It's magnified and torn apart. We're too close to see it wont fit together again.
Breaths we hold and release, I count them down, each one till they cease.
Obsessing over endings before we can begin.
This life will be the death of me. Your dream of life is a fantasy.
This life will be the death of me. You dream of life, I wish for dreams.
Your lullabies keep me awake. This life is all I can take.
I want to know, not just believe in this life.
Will it be enough for me?
My everything is elsewhere.
This world cannot hate you when it doesn't know you're there.
Only in a memory you appear and always I will miss you more from here.
Alone, these fallacies chip at my bones as I lay awake practicing death.
I want to know, I refuse to believe in this life, this great life.
Will it be enough for me?
