i've made no reservation for an afterlife
i'm still busy figuring this one out
but you can't help me find my way
i'm not lost
there's nothing you can say
to change the lack of direction that i'm following
cast out
smoke so thick
and then i crashed down
found myself in a dark place
evolved to be okay with what i am
syntax
you say baptize, i say drowning
i've already saved myself
i'm not anticipating the end of time
faith does not console me
quite the opposite
i'm content to know exactly how my halo's bent
i won't bicker
about who's god is bigger
the way you fight, the end will come quicker
than i'm hoping for
cast out
smoke so thick
and then i crashed down
found myself in a dark place
evolved to be okay with what i am
syntax
you say baptize, i say drowning
i've already saved myself
i'm not sitting waiting to die
if the sky gets really hot
and the air becomes too thin
and my skin feels like it's burning
and the light grows very dim
and i'm separated from all i care for
(then) the end is something i can't ignore
then i guess that i was wrong
and this has been my swan song
