The afterburn of being born

Under each foot you lay
And overspace
There is a grave
Of something
An idea, a best friend, everything that's seen its end

And tonight you feel so alive
Do you realize that when you lie
And look at the stars they've already burned out
So catch your breath and breathe now
While you still can
While you still can

You said if i could befriend a thousand cancers,
If things that killed could be cured, then i would live forever
There'd be no death, there'd be no birth

I said resurrect the dead in your head
And ask them about heaven
You said you already did and they told you
There's not one at all
Nothing to do but haunt where you walk
Nothing to do but haunt where you walk.
