Lyrics

What Occurs

WHAT OCCURS
How you livin'
Like you're in heaven?
It's not a given
When it's at 11
Why aren't you crying?
Man, everybody's dying
Is this how it ends?
Surrounded by your friends?
Even your enemies

Came to make amends
Everybody bracing for a real armageddon
But what occurs will only do your head in
Left behind, and they want you to believe
That what occurs was always meant to be
Just a taste of melancholia
Brings you to your knees
How you living?
Like you're in heaven?
How's it going?

Is the tumor growing?
You look well
I bet nobody can tell
Human waste potential
I guess it's ornamental
This is the revenge of living well
When we're livin' down in hell
