so many ways to die

so many ways to stay alive

but if you wouldn't mind to wait a while

you could give another day a try



you tell me all that you cherished is through

well that's not true it isn't true

it isn't true

i read it in the news it is but really isn't you

you are exactly who you choose

you're only lying to you



so many ways to think

how differently we interpret the brink

between the side of life worth living

and the point at which you're better off to sink



so many ways to laugh

chortle chuckle giggle cachinnate guffaw like william 

howard taft

science has proven it's correlated

with the number of days your life will pass



so many ways to die

so many different ways to lie

should a community allow

or should society continue to deny







what could i say where do you go

what could i do what could i know



so many different lives

so many different ways to hide

but if you open your shutters

you might find the joy that only lives outside



so many ways to dance

so many different meanings for glance

but you only get a few if you keep staring at your 

shoes

you will miss every single chance



three thousand different ways

they could've rearranged your dna

but I believe just for today that

you can conquer your affliction of the brain
