[Verse 1]
             
One day you'll

              
 look up at th

  
e ceiling abov

e
            
If you're luck

              
y you'll be su

              
rrounded by th

  
e ones that yo

u love
            
When the light

              
s in your eyes

             
 fade and life

             
 flashes by
            
One day you're

         
 going to die

             
One day you’ll

              
 sleep and you

    
'll never wake

 again
            
Heaven, hell, 

              
nirvana, nothi

    
ng, no one kno

ws how it ends
            
Rest in peace 

              
or pieces and 

             
won't even kno

  
w why
            
One day you're

            
 going to die

[Verse 2]
            
Read your horo

            
scopes, your p

            
alms and tarot

  
 cards
            
Either way you

           
r destination 

           
ain't very far
            
You could drow

            
n, or choke, o

            
r burn, or be 

          
hit by a car
             
What doesn't k

             
ill you makes 

              
you stronger, 

    
but something 

will eventuall

y

[Verse 3]
             
One day you'll

              
 look back at 

    
the life that 

you lead
            
No more future

              
 left to fear 

              
that you'll ha

       
ve the past to

 regret
            
But your worri

              
es will be ove

             
r if you truly

    
 realize
            
One day you’re

         
 going to die
N.C.
Take it away hands

[Interlude]
      
    
    

[Verse 4]
            
In the fabric 

            
of time, and i

            
n the vastness

     
 of space
  
A billion amou

nts to nothing

 in infinity’s

 face
            
At most a coup

             
le generations

            
 will remember

     
 the ways
              
In which your 

             
life never mat

            
tered, so who 

             
cares if it's 

  
a waste?

[Verse 5]
             
Well, one day 

              
you’ll be not 

       
even a faint m

emory
            
No, at most a 

              
ghost of falli

              
ng leaves from

 
 your family t

ree
             
The legacy's n

             
ot yours to se

             
e, nor is your

 
 eulogy
            
And you'll nev

             
er know what i

           
t all means


[Outro]
              
But you'll be 

             
at peace befor

             
e you sleep if

             
 you just keep

         
 this in mind
             
That everythin

             
g and everyone

              
 goes with the

           
 passage of ti

me
              
So whether it’

            
s cancer, murd

           
er, or suicide
             
One day you're

         
 going to die
           
No need to fea

r cause when i

t's
             
Here you won't

       
 be alive
           
Try not to thi

nk about it
             
One day you're

         
 going to die
              
And there's pr

       
obably nothing

 after
             
One day you're

         
 going to die
            
So if you only

             
 have one chan

              
ce you ought t

             
o try your bes

             
t to live as y

    
ou like
             
One day you're

         
 going to die

[Outro]
