Before You Die lyrics

Porcelain and alabaster

Decaying ever faster

Unaware of imminent disaster

Open up your eyes

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time

Did you wander out your days lost and resigned

Or recreate the universals in your mind?

Everybody is a bastard

My world is like plaster

Crumbling apart from pressure of the blaster

Waiting for a sign

And the momentary pleasures take their turn

As the wistful boy runs out of things to learn

The episodes of yore are never to return

Scare up some hope, you're gonna need it just to cope

You are the decision, numbers don't lie

When you bite the dust, was it for purpose or for trust?

You'll never relive it, think before you die

Yeah, think

Think before you die

Deficit and deprivation

In the wake of desperation

Rewrite the morals, rectify the nation

Now may be your time

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time

Do you wonder how your life has been defined?

You know eternity can't ever change your mind

You know eternity can't ever change your mind

So think

Think before you die

Yeah, think

Think before you die
