We all die But the goal isn't to live forever The goal is to create something that will Something that will persist and exist in this world long after we are gone But what happens if our creation becomes undone? Now, there's a lot of privilege in being able to exist without the fear or thought of death And pride takes control when we think we've got it all figured out That sort of reality check is helpful when you forget where you stand That said - no fear of dying keeps me alive The fear of failure, however - can be debilitating And the things that feel right only last for so long No matter what happens, death could come at any time Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow Only death is real It's the only guarantee we're given in this life When I was young I learned that everyone I loved would fade to gray I didn't question it much until I experienced my first loss They've been stacked up ever since So I have a much better understanding of death these days I know that death could come at any time So I feel like I gotta keep one eye looking over my shoulder Cuz I know it's gonna get harder - harder and harder as I get older Anxiety swirls and swarms around me like a typhoon Ready to make contact with land And I'm unprepared to face the reality that someday I'll be gone Someday I'll be gone Someday I'll be gone Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow I've come to terms with my imperfections So I won't deny that I've played a part in my own undoing It's just that I know how hard it is to put everything into something And then feel like you've got nothing to show for it I've come to terms with my mortality That acknowledgement doesn't stop me from living life on my terms Because there's only so much I can change before I don't know who I am anymore Nothing happens for a reason And I'm learning to be okay with that It honestly makes no difference whether I live or die - I just don't wanna be remembered for my weakness, fear, or pride I don't wanna be remembered for my insecurities or lies Honestly, death may be the only absolute freedom I can find Maybe this will get sorted out tomorrow I tend to get a little caught up in the context Adding more words and scenarios instead of embracing the silence I fill the voids with impatience and noise at the fear of simply disappearing If I'm not the center of attention for one fucking moment So yeah - I get stuck in my head and often wish I were dead But I face the world with a smile Since that's more comfortable for everyone else Because it's easy to convince people you are okay If they don't have to hear what rattles you in the private silence of your own making After all, death comes over us like no surprise I just don't wanna be remembered for my weakness, fear, or pride I don't wanna be remembered for my insecurities or lies Nothing happens for a reason, nothing happens for a reason Nothing happens for a reason We just end, we just end Nothing happens for a reason We just end, we just end Nothing happens for a reason We just end, we just end Nothing happens for a reason We just end, we just end WE JUST END And I'm learning to be okay with that
