When you die
Nothing happens
Life continues
Without you
Down on down
It's my turn in line
It's my time
Down on down
Beneath the ground
Death will find you
Myself too
We're not immune
Down on down
It's my turn in line
It's my time
Down on down
Beneath the ground

Life is an arrow
Encircling itself
The thing about this arrow
Is that it's got no end or origin
Life is bone marrow
Isn't it something or else
There's nothing on this side
Of this
I didn't ask to be born
Like a bad habit
Just no heaven please
Just know (Heaven please)
My life
My life

Looking down at my wristwatch
Grinding my teeth, I feel weak
My jaw is locking
I've had dreams where I get in a car crash
Sometimes
I dream the future
I will die
Eventually
My body
Should be composted
That way
I'll get to have an afterlife
Decomposing self
I could be a plant
Maybe a mushroom
I will be useful in death too
I will haunt you
If it works like that
I'm going to
I will die
Eventually
My body
Should be composted

Take A Giant Step

Though you've played at life and lost
Sorrow's turned your brain to frost
I will melt your mind again
There's no percentage in remember the past
It's time to learn to live at last
Come with me
Leave yesterday behind
Take a giant step outside your mind
Stare at me in disbelief
Say for you there's no relief
I swear I'll prove you wrong
Stuck in your lonely room
Staring back in silent gloom
That's not where you belong
Come with me I'll take you where
The taste of life is green
Everyday holds wonders to be seen
Come with me
Leave yesterday behind
Take a giant step outside your mind
There's no percentage in
Remembering the past
It's time to learn to live at last
Come with me I'll take you where
The taste of life is green
Everyday holds wonders to be seen
Come with me
Leave yesterday behind
Take a giant step outside your mind

Doing The Dishes

Earth stops
Turns the other direction
Maple calls, coin collection
Yet another direction, we're reliving the past
I couldn't say
That we're going out of business
We're not doing the dishes this year
We're not doing the dishes this year
We're not doing the dishes this year
Our love remains incorporated
In bed I often feel naked

i sing you love songs
and im singing you some fresh baguettes
but you, you don't listen
and i, i've been singing you goodnight
what do you think about
that's what i think about
and i don't want to think these crazy thoughts
i'm singing gelatis
i'm singing you some fresh baguettes
but you don't listen
i could be kissin' you good night
what do you think
that's what i think about
i don't want to think these crazy thoughts

All The Plants
04:18

All the plants and the animals collide
Inside the factory farm
What's growing now
It's the next great disease
Everyone's getting sick
Where will you find the protein
Have you ever tried the plants
Neither us nor the animals have to suffer
Contagious disease breeds inside ourselves
When we don't think of other beings
Where will you find the protein
Have you ever tried the plants
Neither us nor the animals have to suffer
Peace love and happiness or settle for what's realistic
