Every Time I Die
Turtles All the Way Down
I have lived every day of my life
Thinking only of what I should think
When I read back at everything that I have written
Of how I've lived my life
And in the process of doing so
I have missed out on the chance to be alive
Just to stay an observer
Of an impartial observer
Here I go again, I'm chasing my tail around the sun
Standing beneath a tortoise under an elephant under the world
The gravity of the battle means nothing to those at peace
I can't believe I thought my thoughts meant anything
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
We think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
Superman
Superman
Superman
We are starving to death on full stomachs
Running miles, new hearts on old legs
If I had known all the howls were false alarms
Oh, just imagine the ammo we'd save
Here we go again, I'll come to your party if it goes
Until four question marks at least
Three or less, and it's not worth my time at all
On nights like those my absence trumps my company
When we think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
We think we've reached the end, we're only back where we begin
Superman
Superman
I truly believe I'll be remembered
And that even this sentence will be studied
Oh, will you think that I am wise 'cause I'm aware of that?
Or am I just killing myself before they get me?
