If Death Comes

Waxwing

Hopeful but not optimistic

My mind becomes more dangerous by the second

So I'm hopeful but not optimistic

Lay down what you're working on

It's time to sleep

I promise that tomorrow will come

Cause time the clock keeps, it keeps.

I'm traveling faster and if death comes at least

Silence is comforting, finally released

From endless ringing

These are the horses that are calling me

The perfect ending I'm finally released.

I don't know why we keep singing these songs

I've never heard anyone sing along, slowly dying.

Attempting to trick chaos into something beautiful

It's what I live for, it's magic.

Deep in this heart something is said.

Someone translate, help me understand, we're all dying.

I'm screaming while I still can, hope my throat holds up

Under this pressure, so my heart won't burst, I'm trying.

Try, all the time, all the time.
