One day you'll look up at the ceiling above, if you're lucky you'll be surrounded by the ones that you love

When the lights in your eyes fade and life flashes by, one day you're going to die

One day you'll sleep and you'll never wake up again

Heaven, hell, nirvana, nothing, no one knows how it ends

Rest in peace or pieces and won't even know why

One day you're going to die


Read your horoscopes, your palms and tarot cards

But either way your destination ain't very far

You could drown, or choke, or burn, or be hit by a car

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but something will eventually

One day you'll look back at the life that you lead

No more future left to fear, you'll have the past to regret

But your worries will be over if you truly realize

One day you're going to die

Take it away, hands


In the fabric of time and in the vastness of space, a billion amounts of nothing in infinity's face

At most a couple generations will remember the ways in which your life never mattered, so who cares if it's a waste?

Well, one day you'll be not even a faint memory

No, at most a ghost or falling leaf from your family tree

Your legacy's not yours to see, nor is your eulogy

And you'll never know what it all means

But you'll be at peace before you sleep if you just keep this in mind

That everything and everyone goes with the passage of time

So whether it's cancer, murder, or suicide


One day you're going to die

No need to fear 'cause when it's here you won't be alive

Try not to think about it

One day you're going to die

And there's probably nothing after

One day you're going to die

So if you have one chance you oughta try your best to live as you like

One day you're going to die
