Modest Mouse - Lives lyrics

Everyone's afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love
If you knew everything they thought
I bet that you would wish
That they'd just shut up

Well, you were the dull sound of
Sharp math when you were alive
No one's going to play the harp when you die
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime
I’d have half the time, do you mind?

Everyone's afraid of their own lives
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?
Am I right? Am I right? Am I right?

And it’s our lives it's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember we're alive
For the first time it's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember we're alive
For the last time it's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember to live before you die
It's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember that our lives
Are such a short time it's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember when it takes
Such a long time it's hard to remember
It’s hard to remember

My mom’s God is a woman, and my mom
She is a witch i like this
My hell comes from inside
Comes from inside myself why fight this?

Everyone's afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want
I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
