We All Gotta Die

Sun it shines, birds they sing A perfect morning, it would seem Don't think that I can make it Coffee's on, a smile too Gotta look A-1 for you Don't think that I can fake this We all gotta die, we all gotta die Deep inside, we're terrified Happiness it will subside Nothing lasts forever, we all gotta die Yesterday I leapt from bed Ready for the day ahead Now I'm ready to surrender Life's a bike, pedal or drop You fall over when you stop Clear out for the next contender We all gotta die, we all gotta die Deep inside, we're terrified We try and try, to fill the time Even if we make it big, we all gotta die The puzzle is blank, it seems Piece by piece, we never see What we're tryin' to put together Every day an offering at The alter of our choosing God or money, pain or pleasure We all gotta die, we all gotta die Deep inside, we're terrified We make up lies just to get by The truth is really simple, we all gotta die Squeeze my hand when it hurts Hope it don't get any worse I can't bear to watch you suffer We are born as pure as snow Triage nurses, all alone Tasked to tend to one another We all gotta die, we all gotta die Deep inside, we're terrified No one will love us, so we hide Even if we find someone, we all gotta die I can't say that I understand, understand why One thing we have in common is, we all gotta die
