Then We Can Think About Dying

When your memory has faded
And the life that you created
Has melted like a dream
And washed your spirit clean
There's a peace we'll come to know
When we finally let go
And close our eyes for good
That can't be understood

Then only then we can think about dying
We can stop hiding
And face the truth
Then only then we can think about dying
We can stop trying
To hang on to youth

When there's nothing left to wish for
And everything you've lived for
Has brought you to this place
And there's one last thing to face

Then only then we can think about dying
We can stop fighting
And just give in
Then only then we can think about dying
It might be exciting
So let's begin

What does it feel like to not be alive
Is there eternal darkness or heavenly light
In a way I guess we've been there before
Maybe we'll find out what all this was for
What's it for

In the end it's all worthwhile
If you made somebody smile
If you dared to look within
If you didn't let hate win
There's a peace we come to find
When we leave it all behind
Leaving everything we thought
And all that we are not

Then only then we can think about dying
We can stop trying
To pretend
Then only then we can think about dying
We won't be so frightened
Of the end

But all of this means nothing
If you say that it means nothing
So just say it means a lot
And give it all you got
