Told I Must Die

I was told I would die

Things look different when the day begins
The morning shadows from the sun they ran
Bone original with carbon copy face
The gods of the forest waiting at the gates

Oh why, I was told I would die
Oh why, I was told I would die

Now everybody is an instrument
Tuned to someone else's sentiment
Sit like an apple, listen like a tree
How many rivers never make it to the sea?

Oh why, I was told I would die
Oh why, I was told I would die

There's a certain way you can hold your head
When you're locked in deep with open eyes
You realise all thoughts are dead
As through your chapel, no time flies

I'd like to break this man machine
I'd like to wake and join the dream
Do you believe in God? No, but I wish she would exist
Something to pray for when all you see is mist

Oh why, I was told we must die
Oh why, I was told I would die

But [?] we said
Share a cigarette upon a slap
Oh why, we must die

Look up to the trees with the withered soul
Ever ever young, is the bay as old [?]
Oh why, we must die
We must die
