Memento Mori - 2018 Live in Studio Demo (Live)

Now, there is, uh, one thing that, um
Uh, keeps my head above water when, um
When, uh, things are getting tough
Uh, when I'm, uh, feeling like I'm too weird for this world
Just like a permanent square peg in a permanent round hole
Like I'm permanently clawing my way up the side of a bell curve
Stick my flag in the peak and slide my way back down
Over and over and over and over again
When I feel like I'm in this cycle of hopelessness
I'll never go anywhere, I'll never amount to anything
I'll never be anyone
Uh, whenever I feel like there's, just, uh
No way I'll get out of this mess alive
Uh, there's one thing I keep in mind that really just make thing -
Makes thing just swell
Um, and I think it's- it's worth, uh
Setting a reminder on your phone every half hour, go for it, man
Put this thing thing on your phone, and just, you know
Never forget it, keep it mind at all times
There's just one fact that makes everything awesome
Uh, and if I just tell you what that thing is, it's, uh
Not really gonna translate, um
So I- I wrote this song, which I- I- I-I, I hope gets the point across
Cause, uh, God knows I wouldn't be able to
Um, just babbling at you like I'm doing right now, so, um
Anyway, um, this is a song that I like to call
The Most Important Thing in the World

One day you'll look up at the ceiling above
Your three o' clock, your nine o' clock, the ones that you love
The lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by
One day you're going to die

One day you'll sleep and you'll never wake again
Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing, no one knows how it ends
Rest in peace or pieces and won't even know why
One day you're going to die

Read your heroscopes, your palms and tarot cards
Either way you destination ain't very far
You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But something will eventually

One day you'll look back at the life that you led
No more future left to fear that you'll have the past to regret
But your worries will be over when you truly realize
One day you're going to die
Take it away, hands

In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space
A billion amounts to nothing in infinity's face
At most a couple generations will remember the ways
In which your life never mattered, so who cares if it's a waste?

Well, one day you'll be not even a faint memory
No, at most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree
Your history's not yours to see, nor is your eulogy
And you'll never know what this shit all means
But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind
That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time
So whether it's cancer, murder, or suicide

One day you're going to die
Try not to think about it
One day you're doing to die
But there ain't no life without it
One day you're doing to die
There's probably nothing after
One day you're going to die
So, if you only have one chance
You oughta' try your best to live as you like
One day you're going to die
