I know how sweet it is
I can taste with an empty mouth
the bitterness of hope so close to death
makes every small wisp of air big
I know what it means to suffocate
And I can't let it go cuz I'll forget
everything I was or thought I could have been
And I'll forget it
Everything it was and what I wondered it might be
And when hope is there but doesn't matter is when they say you're dead
That's when you really choose what it's worth, the meaning we cling to
In hate or in love or in the nothing in between
and the amusement breaking through the clouds in your brain
like god pissing down rain
or encouragement's light could make you laugh just one more time
For what a forgotten lifetime's worth
