Life Well Lived

from The Show Ain't Over by Bloo Burds

lyrics

I read the news today, oh boy
Seven billion empty holes where souls should be
I’m only comatose, the world ain’t gonna slow for me
This world we living in… I’ma spare the lies
The concept of oblivion has got me terrified
If I could touch you for a moment would that be enough?
And would that moment linger on after we’ve turned to dust?
They say to seize the day, but living in the moment’s detrimental
Since you haven’t lived your life if you ain’t lived to your potential
Sleepwalk through the day and only dream when you’re asleep
And when you’re gone you’re just a name, and a name is not unique
And I swore that I would leave something more than just a corpse
Cuz a corpse is just a body and my body isn’t me
But going down in history just means that you’ve become the past
I read the news today and I just laughed

Sometimes I flip from positive to negative
And I ask myself if this is all there is
How can an ordinary life be a life well lived?

I heard a song today, oh boy
And it changed my life, even though I never knew you and I never will
And without you we connecting through the music still
I hid myself behind a wall of disillusion
And you crumbled every brick in the wall
And it made me realize, that the point is that we try
So even if I die trying I’ll know it was worth it all
If my action is a reaction to you, then everything I do
It’s kind of like you did it too
So I can do the dreaming while you sleep
And if we’re all connected ain’t no need to be unique
And I swore that I would leave something more than just a corpse
Cuz a corpse is just a body and my body isn’t me
But going down in history just means that you’ve become the past
So instead become the future, make it last

You helped me flip from negative to positive
Now I’m sure that this ain’t all there is
And your ordinary life was a life well lived

You helped me flip from negative to positive
Now I’m sure that this ain’t all there is
And your extraordinary life was a life well lived
