so many ways to die   so many ways to stay alive   but if you wouldn't mind to wait a while   you could give another day a try      you tell me all that you cherished is through   well that's not true it isn't true   it isn't true   i read it in the news it is but really isn't you   you are exactly who you choose   you're only lying to you      so many ways to think   how differently we interpret the brink   between the side of life worth living   and the point at which you're better off to sink      so many ways to laugh   chortle chuckle giggle cachinnate guffaw like william howard taft   science has proven it's correlated   with the number of days your life will pass      so many ways to die   so many different ways to lie   should a community allow   or should society continue to deny      what could i say where do you go   what could i do what could i know      so many different lives   so many different ways to hide   but if you open your shutters   you might find the joy that only lives outside      so many ways to dance   so many different meanings for glance   but you only get a few if you keep staring at your shoes   you will miss every single chance      three thousand different ways   they could've rearranged your dna   but I believe just for today that   you can conquer your affliction of the brain
