so many ways to stay alive
but if you wouldn't mind to wait a while
you could give another day a try
you tell me all that you cherished is through
well that's not true it isn't true
i read it in the news it is but really isn't you
you are exactly who you choose
how differently we interpret the brink
between the side of life worth living
and the point at which you're better off to sink
chortle chuckle giggle cachinnate guffaw like william howard taft
with the number of days your life will pass
so many different ways to lie
or should society continue to deny
what could i say where do you go
what could i do what could i know
so many different ways to hide
but if you open up your shutters
you might find the joy that only lives outside
so many different meanings for glance
but you only get a few if you keep staring at your shoes
you will miss every single chance
three thousand different ways
they could've rearranged your dna
but I believe just for today that
you can conquer your affliction of the brain
