You Know

How would you live if you had already died
What if I said that you've been dead this whole time
And that the voice in your head has done a great job at lying
Hiding the fact that you aren't just surviving

Would your whole perception of everything change
Or would you rather it all just stay the same
Because owning your potential is too much to face
And failure's always sweeter with someone else to blame

You know
You know
You know you can do so much more
Than you give yourself credit for
What's the point in breathing if you don't know what you're breathing for
Try living like you're dead, not dying
You might feel alive a little more

Is there anything you wanna take to your grave
Do you regret any thoughts, or words, or mistakes
See, 'cause if you're dead then every moment is a clean slate
There's nothing you can't let go of
What you give you can take

Have you been giving yourself as much as you'd like
Or have you gotten caught up in the concept of time
Spending hours like hundreds 'cause money is as real as time
There'll never be enough of both to call mine

You know
You know
You know you can do so much more
Than you're doing now, what are you waiting for
What's the point in dreaming if you don't know what you're dreaming for
Try living like you're dead, not dying
You might like life a little more
