Death Instructions

[Verse 1]

For every song that says what to do

When life leaves your body, there should be one too

To sing when someone leaves here for good

I'd try and write it if I thought I could

But sometimes words, even well-rehearsed

Just make things worse

[Chorus]

But I'll say that maybe it's true and there's something to

All the stories we tell ourselves to get through

Who would I be to say, when we live our last day

That there's nowhere to wait?

'Til everyone we ever loved are all in the same place

It's unlikely, but it's nice to entertain

[Verse 2]

How many times have you heard this one

"It's not where you're going, but the way that you've gone?"

Yeah, it's cliché, but what isn't these days?

Most things take reminding to stay

It'd be like if you spend your whole life

Just wasting time trying not to die

[Chorus]

But who knows maybe it's true, and there something to

All the stories we tell ourselves to get through

Who would I be to say, when we live our last day

That there's nowhere to wait?

'Til everyone we ever loved are all in the same place

It's unlikely, but it's nice to entertain
