lyrics

"Don’t Forget to Leave It All Behind"

In the midst of hypothermia,
The body starts to flicker out,
Vision blurs as it occurs to you

I never felt that I could turn ya,
From all the things you fussed about,
A deeper thought
a breath that's caught in the blue

The fingers stiffen the the legs give out,
Paralysis is coming now,
You could be spared if
loving care could find you

But after all it's just your nature,
To heave it all upon your back,
Propriety, anxiety as a virtue

Deal with it or lie with it,
Live with it, you die with it

As it stands you are a number,
In a diagram of a life,
Just a brand stuck on the shelf
And we're closed for the night,
Pick up your feet
and get out on the street
We will find you,
Don't forget to leave it all behind

The blood it pumps with paranoia,
Acrid fumes they fill the lungs,
Losing all the things that makes it work

You're the one who is the master,
That keeps the keys to happiness,
Smash the box
that you've been keeping secret

You could, be living proof
That good things come in time,
I would, bet it all to see you clear your mind,
Stand still, let me get a look at you

Deal with it or lie with it,
Live with it, you die with it

As it stands, you are a number,
In a diagram of a life,
Just a brand, stuck on the shelf
And we're closed for the night,
Take a stand, do what you're here for,
you are free to live your life,
Like a brand, wear it with pride,
Gonna open the night,
Pick up your feet
and get out on the street
We will find you,
Don't forget to leave it all behind

Leave it behind
Deal with it or lie with it,
Live with it, you die with it
