Eulogy (Hey, Donnie Darko...)

When I die I'll be surrounded by my friends and family

I don't believe we have to die alone like the story's always told

When I die I'll be surrounded by my friends and family

I don't believe we have to die alone like my teachers always told

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Growin' up we're taught to listen to the man behind the lectern

First a preacher than a teacher, a professor, a philosopher

But one day I woke up worn down by the words and all their sounds

"Love's illusion," "Hope's a drug," "In the end we die alone"

Woah, woah, woah

You said, "We all just die alone"

Woah, woah, woah

You said, "We all just die alone"

And I bought your lies for so long

Because they sound so smart and sophisticated

Well, I woke one day to see the world was changin'

My best friend left this life, and I was by his side

And the truth was there inside his fading stare

I learned a lesson from my dog: sometimes the wisest men are wrong

When I die I'll be surrounded by my friends and family

I don't believe we have to die alone like the story's always told

When I die I'll be surrounded by my friends and family

I don't believe we have to die alone like my teachers always told

Hey Donnie Darko, hey Jesse Lacey

You don't have to die alone, die alone, die alone

Hey Hunter Thompson, and Orson Welles

You don't have to die alone, die alone, die alone

Woah, woah, woah

I don't believe we die alone

Woah, woah, woah

I don't believe we die alone
