    Lyrics:
    I don't know why, but sometimes I wonder deeply
    What I would do if you passed away
    I think of words, words that I wish I'd told you by the end
    Dead messages I can still say to you
    Why should I sit with fear? We all know that tragedies are never fair
    Wait, do I have an issue?
    Dreaming you're gone just to see if I'd miss you
    No, no it hurts to imagine
    Letting go and wearing black the day we know you're never coming home
    Who decides it's our turn to go?
    Who decides?
    Live, because you're dying (quickly)
    I'm still trying (we don't really know)
    No, life is a show, and tragedies are never fair
    We're all given a script that's been written
    (Blindly, blindly) unaware of who will be
    Who will be cast? Who will be cast to come home?
    Time can be unforgiving
    Status quo on the living
    (Unknown) What will I (second home) most remember
    (Buried) from our time (unexposed) spent together?
    When am I to go? Who'll be there to notice?
    Will I go alone? Who'll be there?
    Who'll write my obituary once I find the cemetery?
    Live, because you're dying (quickly)
    I'm still trying (we don't really know)
    No, life is a show, and tragedies are never fair
    We're all given a script that's been written
    (Blindly, blindly) unaware of who will be
    Who will be cast? Who will be cast out?
    I don't know why, but sometimes I wonder deeply
    What you would do if I passed away

    The lead singer is incredible at making his melodies flow with the complexity of the music yet be very catchy at the same time. One talented fucking guy

      Make sure you check out Donovan Melero's (name of singer) side projects, Sianvar, Nova Charisma, and his solo work.

    My father is dying, laying on life support, and it took me until now to finally understand this song for what it truly reflects. At least it's a comfort. Thank you for that. It's worth a lot.

      I hope you’ve been able to grieve since your initial comment.
      My only living parent is 61 and I dunno what to do myself!
      I can’t pre-emptively grieve, I cannot find solace in her age relative to mine. I gotta find a way to support her while limited in options. Wish me luck. I wish you the best❤

    Definitely reminds me of the Juturna Anthony Green. When I imagine Dance Gavin Dance's new album, I imagine a more funkier version of this song (if they make use of Tilian's relaxing vocals and add in some slow parts).

    • @robertvasque4291
