Lyrics
The world it never, ever looked as vibrant
The world appears exceptionally vivid.
As you walked down those hospital steps
Observing you descending the hospital stairs.
Though you may be wounded forever and ever
Even though you may carry lasting wounds.
You're not dead yet
You are still alive.
They said if they were to put you back together
To rebuild you, they must first dismantle you.
First they must tear you apart
Enduring this process could be prolonged.
But you could go on like this forever and ever
If you discover something remotely meaningful.
If you could find something remotely resembling
Resembling a life worth living.
A life worth living
Contemplating why one invests time.
Now I sit and wonder why I'm giving
Questioning the reasons for giving.
All of my time to people
Allocating time to individuals.
Who don't care if I live or die
Who are indifferent to one's survival.
That makes two of us my darling
Both of us share this sentiment, my beloved.
That makes two of us my dear
We both understand this, my dear.
That makes two of us I'm certain
We both acknowledge this for certain.
That I've never seen it all so clear
Clarity like never before.
That day the news was mostly about famous people
On that day, news predominantly about renowned individuals.
Who died and will soon fade away
Who have passed away and will soon be forgotten.
Still the camera crews will fill the pews of the cathedrals
Yet, camera crews occupy cathedral pews.
Swept up by the same mortal play
Ensnared by the same mortal drama.
A life worth living
Reflecting on what constitutes a meaningful life.
Now I sit and wonder why I'm giving
Pondering why time is devoted.
All of my time to people
Investing time in people.
Who don't care if I live or die
Who are indifferent to one's life or death.
That makes two of us my darling
We both share this sentiment, my beloved.
That makes two of us my dear
We both understand this, my dear.
That makes two of us I'm certain
We both acknowledge this for certain.
That I've never seen it all so clear
Clarity like never before.
