about

A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.

lyrics

from the moment you arrive
until the moment when they grieve
it starts with a slap and cry
and pennies on your eyes when you die

those decisions that you make
linger with you every day
those moments in time frozen
and all the ones that got away

it's a matter of life
it's a matter of death
the time in between
plays out like a movie scene

from the moment that you age
and your body starts to fade
your hair your skin your features change
no one marching in your parade

frustration starts to mount
the things that you used to do
require a herculean effort on your part
to salvage a life you once knew

the years in between
play out in real time
the choices that you made
the people that you knew

the ones that you loved
and the ones who loved you
the ones that you loved
and the ones who loved you

it's so hard letting go
it's so hard letting go
tethered to the faintest strand
and so hard to understand
so hard to understand
impossible to understand...

it's a matter of life (from the moment you arrive)
it's a matter of death (until the moment that they grieve)
it's a matter of life (you only have so much time)
it's a matter of death (to continue to breathe)

REPEAT ONCE, then OUT.
