lyrics

Tomorrow ill wake up because ive been afforded the privilege of being alive
And i hate it
But i cant complain because
Not everybody’s afforded the privilege
Of being alive
Because some people die and i hate it
Especially when those people are still alive
And in truth
We just might not talk quite as much
As we used to

What do you do when the people you love have died
But you’re mourning
With no fair warning
The magnet that you gave me
Is rolling round my room because I guess you are moving
I guess you are moving
So ill just sit here making
No sudden movements
And swearing that the sky
Its not that i wish you died

Just politely disappeared
Pulled the curtain closed
Convince me you’re not here
Take the back roads
Back home
With the mangroves
And the scare crows
But the cathode lights up your electrodes
And you’re gleaming again

And in truth
Im so happy you’re alive
And i know that
You know that
Its just hard to rectify
This life that i am living
Without you in it
This life that i am living
Without you in it

And what do you do when the people you love have died
But you’re mourning
With no fair warning
The magnet that you gave me
Is rolling round my room because I guess you are moving
I guess you are moving
So ill just sit here making
No sudden movements
And swearing that the sky
In truth, I’m happy you’re alive
