It could have been me
Life measured in inches
Decided in seconds
Lost time now
Another round of shots
To forget the rounds before
An ocean away
To whom it may concern
Who will bear witness to this funeral
What will be written on your headstone
Tears flow in vain at this wake
For a life long past
So much skill
Yet blindsided by foul luck
Just meditation in the deep pit of
Anxious rumination
(Chorus)
And what worth is held by thee
Another fish in an endless sea
Just one of countless casualties
Anxious rumination
Your life ends time now
A brilliant flash
Of such a short life
Pints raised where there’s no light
A crack of noise rings in deaf ears
Crimson vision
No fear
You made it out
Over blood and stone
Fortune held for you this day
A long life for your survey
Yet you know you died that day
(Chorus)
And what worth is held by thee
Another fish in an endless sea
Just one of countless casualties
Anxious rumination
Who will bear witness to this funeral
What will be written on your headstone
Tears flow in vain at this wake
For a life long past
So much skill
Yet blindsided by foul luck
Just a meditation in the deep pit of
Anxious rumination
