lyrics

I don't believe in omens, so let this not be something morbid
A reminder of impending death should not be merely mournful
And I don't believe in God, at least the evidence hasn't convinced me
And I'm well aware, in all likelihood, this life is all there is

But 'tis no reason to despair; eternity is daunting
How can one appreciate a life that never ends?
There is beauty in finality, the end result of something precious
It's a one-shot opportunity to have had truly lived

So I refuse to waste it on a promise or a gamble
In servility to a structure based on collective wishful thinking
Or stifled by the framework of its cultural conventions
Ubiquitously ingrained, but with which I don't agree

My life is brief, but valid, with works that could outlive me
Echoing affirmations down the span of centuries
But even if it's not so, and my work's lost with my body
That would still be no excuse to let my talents atrophy

So with that being said, I declare this proclamation:
To fulfill each of my endeavors to the best of my abilities!
