Lyrics

Lying face up in my bed
Shiny and bright shapes paint the scene
How the time’s getting enshrined
Point my ear to what’s being said

Today I’m going to die
White light folding in, nurturing me
It’s time to say goodbye
Pack my things for the next life

Before I get on my way friends say
They paint tales that define me

Why’s it never thought about
What they think about your memory
Forced to move, be gone
What remains? What’s left behind?
Close my eyes
Out of time
Don’t forget please
Famed fiction, tempt truth, mark meaning

Lying face up in my bed
Shiny and bright shapes paint the scene
How the time’s getting enshrined
Point my ear to what’s being said

Still, rigid, blind
Bright, happy, fine
Writing in the tome
A story made over a lifetime

Good, impatient, bold
Cheap, funny, old
Chiseling the stone
My history is created and told

At this meeting fate reveals
A glimpse of our other selves
Recognize I had a chance
Reshape our past

When I’m gone you must be strong
When I’m gone please be strong

Lying face up in my bed
Shiny and bright shapes paint the scene
How the time’s getting enshrined
Point my ear to what’s being said

Still, rigid, blind
Bright, happy, fine
Writing in the tome
A story made over a lifetime

Good, impatient, bold
Cheap, funny, old
Chiseling the stone
My history is created and told
