Mad World, Outlive Me
Feast on the labour
Of your mind
And you won't go hungry
And you won't go blind
Feed on the pictures
Of all you've left behind
Knowing they are just pictures
Still and sad and refined
It's a mad world
To be stuck on livin'
It's a heart breaker
To succumb to forgetting
I keep wishing for something
That gets in my way
My path is a jungle
It's got too much to say
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds
Sapphires and such
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
There is a fire
In place of a stone
That softens the letters
And it takes you back home
Where once it was written
The lines we obeyed
Now tenderly questions
The choices we've made
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds and
Sapphires and such
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
Of your mind
And you won't go hungry
And you won't go blind
Feed on the pictures
Of all you've left behind
Knowing they are just pictures
Still and sad and refined
It's a mad world
To be stuck on livin'
It's a heart breaker
To succumb to forgetting
I keep wishing for something
That gets in my way
My path is a jungle
It's got too much to say
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds
Sapphires and such
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
There is a fire
In place of a stone
That softens the letters
And it takes you back home
Where once it was written
The lines we obeyed
Now tenderly questions
The choices we've made
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Rubies and emeralds and
Sapphires and such
Outlive me
Outlive me, I love you too much
Coal into diamonds
Ashes and dust
