Lives

Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love If you knew everything they thought I bet that you would wish that they'd just shut up Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math When you were alive No one's going to play the harp when you die And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I'd have half the time, do you mind? Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? Am I right, am I right, am I right? Am I right, am I right, am I right? And it's our lives It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the first time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember We're alive for the last time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember To live before you die It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember That our lives are such a short time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember When it takes such a long time It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember My mom's God is a woman and my mom she is a witch I like this My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself Why fight this? Everyone's afraid of their own lives If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? --- Lives - Modest Mouse
