A Thousand Deaths

When that thing went down we all knew
It would never be the same again
Do what you can to survive, we all do
Try our best to feel something

And my worst nature gets the best of me
I could level cities with ferocity
I could crumble buildings and societies
With exceptional grace and phenomenal ease

But I’ve died a thousand times
And I’ll die a thousand more
This life can be so unkind
I hope I find what I'm searching for

I could burn up like a nuclear reactor
And glow like radium
Show up like a natural disaster
Disappear like a setting sun

Ane we fall down like autumn leaves
And we rise up with a gust of wind
Cry not for the bare limbs of trees
Come spring they’ll be full again

And I’ve died a thousand times
And I’ll die a thousand more
This life can be so unkind
I hope we find just what we’re searching for
I hope we find what we’re searching for
