Life on Parade

Is this more than a terrible feeling
Is right if I just repent
Is this world really finally healing
Is this life really heaven sent

Am I OK without ever knowing
What comes next is not guaranteed
It's too late my heartbeat is slowing
It's too late while I sit here and bleed

When I grow up I wanna be a martyr
Why try when I can't reflect
There's no fire without any starter
There's no person without respect

What is a life if not just hard-earned
What do I have if I can't pay the rent
All my time is taken up waiting
All my waiting wanting an end

Come see my whole life on parade
These feelings I dread
Scream out of my head
And no one will be saved

Give me your grace
Give me my space
I'm full out of both myself

A king dethroned
Lost and alone
My own fucking personal hell

No glorious refrain
At the end of this verse
No ship to sink with the band

Alone and forsaken
By fate and by man
O' Hank if you're with me just please hold my hand

Watch it all burn
Watch them all run
There's no happy ending here

Now it's my turn to have some more fun
Life in the rearview mirror

Don't fucking ask
I can't just relax
It's all spelled out in this song

I'd be much more chill
On a mountain of pills
And with a few more hits of this bong

Come see my whole life on parade
These feelings I dread
Scream out of my head
And no one will be saved

Slowly the guests begin to arrive
Gone without warning, finally it's time
No leaving no note, no saying goodbye
I know in this peace I will finally thrive
Put me to sleep with my sword by my side
Bury me deep with my family beside
Let the roots creep, reclaiming my hide
These are the sounds that all doves cry

Pour out the beers smoke a few blunts
With any luck we'll be doing this once
With any luck you'll be having some fun
With any luck you'll be doing some drugs
Going all in enough is enough
Let it all go, this life can be tough
If you can hang you've made the cut
If you can bang then throw 'em both up

Come see my whole life on parade
These feelings I dread
Scream out of my head
And no one will be saved

Come bleed emotions on my grave
Why didn't I try
Before saying goodbye
Or I'd be here today

I see
You're broke because of me
I know this loss
It's called paying the cost
Of love eternally
