World of Dust

 

Uncarved Block - Not Dead Yet



Lyrics


When I die don't bring me roses
Or waste your time like that
'Cause when I'm cold and the coffin closes
It won't matter what I have
Don't you know the terms the Dirt imposes
"What's mine is yours is mine"
'Cause it's the Dirt that owns us or did you notice
And we only get so much time

For now I live my life in a world that's already gone
Watching how they spend their days making sure I know right from wrong
If you wanna bring me roses, I'm not dead yet
But don't you worry 'cause I've been dying since I took my first breath

You'll get your chance

So I take my time and I take my drugs
And search for happiness
Consume the things that my heart loves
Everything I won't have to miss
The Dirt waits patiently because
My time is short and it knows
All that is and ever was
Will die like this rose

For now I live my life in a world that's already gone
Watching how they spend their days making sure I know right from wrong
If you wanna bring me roses, I'm not dead yet
But don't you worry 'cause I've been dying since I took my first breath

You'll get your chance to bring me a rose
