The Pre-Mortem Lyrics

My crowning achievement – defying bereavement of myself

Of myself, I concede a world so conceited

I can take it or leave it

I can see defeatists defeated

And it's all going to melt

Don't know how much longer I can stand stronger than the gravity that pulls me towards the ground

Is this the pre-mortem?

Tightroping the border between eternal clarity and sticking around

So record it – me bleeding on the floor, did you ever think I'd try to run?

So exhausted, waiting for a spark that will never come

The dark it calls you, silence before drought

Calm before a storm that strikes you down

Oh when the lightning rings out, will I grab its hand?

Or will I snatch it by its throat?

And scream "oh you're not taking me now"

Nah this thunder

No way it's taking me under

Not going to give this life away

I'm going to live another day
