God Is Dead

Lyrics

Sobriety's good but so is being high
 Society's fine with the passage of time
 Try slow it down so I can unwind
 Tragedy's comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 Perspective's impossible from this position
 I don't care either way, don't make it my decision
 I'm not the one with the plan, I'm the one with the vision
 Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 God is dead and reality is fake
 It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
 And there is no luck and there is no fate
 And nobody cares about you or your pain
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 I've always been more distressing than cool
 I'm a blood nose on the first day of school
 My own quiet life at the bottom of the pool
 Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 Come a long way from a neck in a noose
 Look me in the eye and call that an excuse
 I wasn't sure what to make tight or keep loose
 Was never a boy scout, so I fell straight through it
 I fell straight through it
 God is dead and reality is fake
 It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
 And there is no luck and there is no fate
 And nobody cares about you or your pain
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 Yeah, that way
 But I wanna be
 The boy at the bar mitzvah, the child at the christening
 The corpse at the funeral, the bride at the wedding
 And none of this matters, so we shouldn't just stop
 Not with all the perpetual motion we've got or we had
 Who knows? Not like I'm going to shows
 I'm pissing in the wind, I don't know which way it blows
 Coming straight out of Box Hill like a bat out of hell
 If you're not gonna forget me, remember me well
 
 Sobriety's good but so is being high
 Society's fine with the passage of time
 Try slow it down so I can unwind
 Tragedy's comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 Perspective's impossible from this position
 I don't care either way, don't make it my decision
 I'm not the one with the plan, I'm the one with the vision
 Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 God is dead and reality is fake
 It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
 And there is no luck and there is no fate
 And nobody cares about you or your pain
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 I've always been more distressing than cool
 I'm a blood nose on the first day of school
 My own quiet life at the bottom of the pool
 Tragedy is comedy if you can get through it
 If you can get through it
 Come a long way from a neck in a noose
 Look me in the eye and call that an excuse
 I wasn't sure what to make tight or keep loose
 Was never a boy scout, so I fell straight through it
 I fell straight through it
 God is dead and reality is fake
 It's a hive mind nightmare of a dying race
 And there is no luck and there is no fate
 And nobody cares about you or your pain
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 That becomes freedom if you look at it that way
 Yeah, that way
 But I wanna be
 The boy at the bar mitzvah, the child at the christening
 The corpse at the funeral, the bride at the wedding
 And none of this matters, so we shouldn't just stop
 Not with all the perpetual motion we've got or we had
 Who knows? Not like I'm going to shows
 I'm pissing in the wind, I don't know which way it blows
 Coming straight out of Box Hill like a bat out of hell
 If you're not gonna forget me, remember me well
