To live is to be known
So I guess I’m dead
Bring the lilies, all white
Compliment the people in black
Let’s have a party
Throw your heads back
Scream into an empty night
I hope it’s a full moon
When I go up in flames
I’ll join the stars
Alive only in name
Then I’ll disintegrate
And be forgotten
I wasn’t known anyway
Can’t take too long
Memories fade in days
Laughing in parks
Singing in cars
Dancing in dark corners
That’s what you remember
So my pain will die
Quietly forgotten
The voice in my head
Dies alone, unknown
Because I never told
Anybody, there’s just
Too much of me for
Anyone to hold
I’m buried by
The weight of pain
I shouldered alone
Atlas hides behind the
Smile you remember
So say your goodbyes
Lay flower on wood
Turn away and remember
Whoever you want
Infinite doppelgangers
Run free in nostalgia
But none of them are close
Because to live is to be known
And I was born to die
