another summer comes and goes   i hope to have about 80 more of these, but who knows      the future, it is taunting you   but i still have the morning to look forward to      and it comes so quietly   that it skips over everybody      but you will lie awake   there are no pills for you to take   you are the wide-eyed kid   that everybody claims they've been      interconnected eyelashes   babies screaming, "ashes ashes, we all fall down."      designed to appeal to the masses   designed to fit securely in a casket      this isn't my life   this isn't my life   this isn't my life   this isn't my life      people say that they just want to live   so they step inside a booth, and they forgive      a higher power somewhere in the empty sky   for being happy and not wanting to die      and i hope you find out you are dreaming   and i hope you wake up softly screaming      but i will be here still   another shadow on the hill   the plane, it crashes   ashes ashes   but fire is just so beautiful      an old man over a cradle   saying,   "you will pick up where I leave off      'cause I am tired and not able,      my characters have been killed off"      this isn't my life   this isn't my life   this isn't my life   this isn't my life
