lyrics

Life really sucks sometimes, but we don’t want to leave
Like a bad lover, calling us back
For the hundreds of millions whose lives are misery
We’re the train, they are the tracks

But everyone is like that,
Everyone has pain,
Every name is loved and someday is forgotten
Everyone can say it,
Every missing day,
Every name we love, some day is forgotten.

Everyone must die sometime, but it need not be today,
Nor tomorrow, nor any time this week,
This invisible machine that’s eating at our soul
Will someday break, it’s just the present that’s bleak

But every day is like that,
Every day has pain,
Each day someone loves will pass and go somewhere that’s not here
Everyone has felt it,
Every missing day,
Every day we love, some day is forgotten.

Life has these moments, these flashes in the pan,
Something worth braving the sting of death
Little chunks of gold to our billions of souls
I think, I am, I was, and dammit, I drew breath

But everyone is like that,
Everyone has a name,
Every name is loved and someday is forgotten
Everyone can find it,
Their own perfect day,
Every one we love, we’ll all be forgotten.
Every one we love, we’ll all be forgotten.
Every one we love, we’ll all be forgotten.
