lyrics

(Verse 1)
I confide in lies
I am the life in the words you speak
The facade to your disguise
I don’t really care to live
But I don’t really want to die
And I’d settle for the truth
If it’s something I could hide behind
As you can see this is the problem that I’m facing
I’m running after something but I wouldn’t call it chasing
I’m pacing, I’m racing
These thoughts are suffocating
I’m breaking from the stress of overcompensating

(Chorus)
So take a breath now
And hold it close
Don’t let it go, you can’t let it go
When you look to the sky and say
To hell with every prayer you’ve ever known
Don’t call me a ghost
I’m like catching smoke
Are you gonna choke? Are you gonna choke?
When a steady hand’s needed the most

(Verse 2)
I believer you’ll see
Inevitable death is the only thing staring back at me
It’s quite alright
No it really is fine
The company is nice even if it’s just a waste of time
Death is rather clever
Death is rather witty
And maybe if I speak low he’ll never hear me
Or maybe if I speak loud I’ll buy some time
Until the day he comes and I lose my mind

(Chorus)

(Pre Bridge)
Oh, if I can say
Oh, if I can say
It’s such a beautiful day

Oh, if I can say, oh if I can say
It’s such a beautiful day
To die
The skies a lie
I’m a victim of my pride
I’ll never run and hide, I’ll never run and hide
And I know better than
To pray for the day when I can leave this all behind
I was made a joke
As I gave the most
To the father, son, and the Holy Ghost
But look who is laughing the most

(Bridge)
They say the Gods
They don’t reply
To the prayers that come from where we lie

(Outro)
I guess death is the only thing
That will ever be there watching over me
Color me shocked, I would have never have known
I was made a joke
As I gave the most
To the father, son, and the Holy Ghost
So tell me now
Just who’s laughing
Laughing the most

If I can say
It’s such a beautiful day
