Lyrics

Every day I wake
In a shell of mistakes
And I wonder how much time
Is left on the clock

Have I done all I want?
Is this the place that I'll haunt?
Am I taking up room?
Can I ignore all of their taunts?

We're here for a good time, not a long time
We're here to bring joy, not to destroy
Chase off Death for the day
No work and all play
We're here for a good time, not a long time

Every day I wake
In a shell of mistakes
And I wonder if we'll learn
To live with all this concern

Then I look at the news
And see that we're still a mess
Well it's just bringing me down
With all this constant distress

We're here for a good time, not a long time
We're here to bring joy, not to destroy
Chase off Death for the day
No work and all play

Here for a good time, not a long time
We're here to bring joy, not to destroy
Chase off Death for the day
Chase off Death for the day
Chase off Death for the day

Holding hands with who I love the most
Holding hands with a future ghost

Begin again today
(When I lie down)
We've something now to say
(It'll be forever)

Let's take a last breath
(When I lie down)
Confirm to the world
We won't choose to opt out
