00:00I remember vividly, my tears dropping on the gray carpet on the top steps

00:21Pop's giving me his best guess Me confessing the burning question

00:25Stressing and concerning me and turning me to a wet mess

00:28It's probably nothing, I get it, I'm aware

00:30I know it's probably stupid to be scared

00:32But these days are flying past us and nobody seems to care

00:35It's like we're sprinting towards a brick wall, we're pretending isn't there

00:38What happens when we hit it?

00:40Do we split into a million bits or do we come back as a bullfrog and talking ribbis?

00:44What is it? What is it?

00:45You got the answer, so give it, so give it, so give it

00:48Don't lie, what happens when we die?

00:50Dad says, Georgie, I'm just guessing from what I've been told

00:53Probably thinking, how'd I raise this emo fucking nine-year-old

00:56Since I'm sorta really not religious, it's a crapshoot, I'll roll a paradise

00:59Although the thought of paradise is very nice

01:02In my heart I know I don't believe in magic

01:04So I'm thinking maybe death is like eternal TV static

01:07I'll return into the state before your birth

01:09Absorbed into the earth

01:11The fewer hours left, the more they're worth

01:13I admit that it's difficult to think about

01:15I think everybody got a little bit of doubt

01:17You don't get to hide from it even if you shout

01:18Not a soul on the planet gets to wiggle out

01:20And he's sad that I know that it's tough to take in some

01:21But it's so early, I can see her in a hurry

01:24But don't worry, cause

01:25That isn't for a long, long time

01:27That isn't for a long, long time

01:30That isn't for a long, long time

01:33That isn't for a long, long, long, long time

01:38Life moves fast

01:40Made the mistake of blinking 20 years past

01:42Now I'm sitting in my living room in Brooklyn with my father

01:45We don't bother you and Christmas in the bay any longer

01:48Here is the first time that we've had this conversation

01:52He says it's tough to take in

01:55I know we're not quite ancient

01:57But we reached the age where we should probably talk arrangements

02:00We could take it several routes

02:02We could sell the house

02:03We can't work forever

02:04Eventually money will run out

02:05That's the spot

02:06Taking a loan would help us cover

02:08Which would make it tougher to leave something for you and your brother

02:11Stop, can't you see?

02:12Every meal that you paid for me

02:15All this power to chase a dream

02:17All this privilege not to crave riches, but it's plain to me

02:19The key fact is it's easy to act like cash needs jack shit

02:22If you never lack it

02:23And the greatest honor I could have is to make a buck and pass

02:26Like a fraction of all the happiness you gave to me

02:29And I will never make you live where you don't aim to be

02:31Age is just data

02:32We paint our story A to Z

02:34Then dip out, R.I.P. rip out

02:35We tear out the pages, tear up the stage

02:37And we take a seat, making a vacancy

02:39Famous or not, we fade from the plot

02:41Every day when a new night falls

02:47I ride around the sun in this big blue ball

02:49I get a bit further from a kid called Paul

02:50And I get a bit closer to the big rig ball

02:52But I'm cinching up to that fence

02:53Like I run my fingers against

02:55All the bricks and mortar and scents

02:56That it's not so cold, it's so dense

02:58And although I'm mournful, I'm known

02:59That I'm not immortal

03:00I'm not banging into stone

03:01But I'm more

03:02Heading through this portal

03:03We're born to return to home

03:04We're all born to be

03:05We're all born to be

03:06Miss me, everything dies

03:07Except for papaya king

03:08Hot dogs on 86th street

03:09Dad hands me a napkin

03:10Tells me it's been the same since the fifties

03:12He didn't always love the city

03:14But damn it, he'll miss me

03:15How can you miss something now

03:16After you leave

03:17I agree that it's sad

03:18But please, don't dwell on it, dad

03:20Well, cause...

03:21That isn't for a long, long time

03:23That isn't for a long, long time

03:26That isn't for a long, long time

03:29That isn't for a long, long, long, long time

03:34What a tangle

04:02What a strangling knot to be caught in

04:06To be exiled here

04:08To be stuck in Berlin

04:10With Vienna so near

04:12Yet so far from the emperor's ear

04:15What a strange and impossible song

04:19To be old while to still be so young

04:23To have sung before speaking a word

04:27To be heard

04:28To be heard

04:29To be hailed

04:30Than to fail

04:31To be done

04:32To love but to be so naive

04:35To trust and to be so deceived

04:39To mourn for a lord to be torn from you

04:43Scorned for another

04:45Who suffers no grief

04:47To curse God seeking lightning

04:53And to still be ignored

04:55To hide in this room not too rich to afford

04:58To hear armies of creditors bang at the door

05:01Always yelling for more

05:02And to have nothing to sell

05:04That could help

05:06Except for the Steinway

05:08That sits

05:10In the corner

05:14For Arthur it all came too easily

05:16To learn the scales in every key

05:18To play the etudes and the sweets

05:22The naftries and the fantasy

05:24To master the sonata's minuettes and symphonies

05:28To seek the truth in fits and starts

05:30To strike the middle F like it's an arrow through the heart

05:32To wing the right hand like a dove

05:34The peaceful flutter of a dove

05:35And with left a violent shove

05:37Someone's will demand a shove

05:38To needle gently yet relentlessly a steady foot upon the pedal

05:41And to clench the iron fist inside the velvet glove

05:43To learn to whisper and to scream

05:45Whisper justifies the scream

05:46To let each yearning finger breathe

05:48Know nothing lives unless it breathes

05:49To burn to worship

05:50To mislead

05:51To pose a question with a pinky on a key

05:56To flee

05:57To fight

05:58To bleed

05:59To float in air

06:00Nothing's silent underneath

06:01To wrap those heavy knuckles on the gate to heaven

06:04Till there's nothing to achieve

06:08But...

06:11To cover G the length of cable hidden in the cabinet

06:13To metamorphosize the twisted rope into an alphabet

06:15To lay the lazy sea upon the shabby wooden floor to rise

06:17Ascend the end across the top

06:18To bend the sea into an S

06:19To curb the tail beneath the S

06:20To turn the tangle to a B

06:21To hug the wretched rooter on the fiber suffocatingly

06:23To wrapping and wrapping

06:24Getting into coils

06:25Stabbing loops

06:26Penetrate the yawning hoop

06:27Tell the loser to vanish through

06:28Think that not until he's ready

06:29But the job he's gotta do

06:30To toss the raid above the ceiling

06:32To affix the noose to bid and do

06:33To all of you until there's nothing left to do

06:34But climb the chair to cinch the cock

06:36Find the edge to step into the air

06:41What you cec...

06:46Will you know...

06:47If it's just there's nothing left to do

06:49What you do with the yawning hoop

06:50The fossilization Imperial

06:51Could are doing with us

06:52In the air in the end

06:53Titan of the Mount

06:54You're still in catholic

06:55What the zombie's Diamond

06:56We are looking for

06:57And you're about to measure that

06:58Whatever you want

06:59You're your own

07:04Pedicota

07:05Be the HCP

07:06You are the same

07:07I'm forget

07:08Don't let my ghost drag you down

07:25If you don't see me around

07:29It doesn't mean that I fail

07:34Yeah, I'm doing well

07:36I've got some roses to smell

07:38I hope you smile when I'm gone

07:43It means I had the strength to move on

07:47To find another story to tell

07:51To answer the bell

07:53I've got some roses to smell

07:55When magic's happening, my habits are coiling up my memory and trapping it right

08:00In the cavity of my ribs like the doors of a cabinet light

08:04But you will hold it to a shadow just by grabbing it tight

08:08Instead of ringing, letting it back in the light

08:10Never out of my heart, even but out of my sight

08:12Even it's supposed to be hard

08:13Man, I thought it was so selfish

08:14And people are loved to keep falling out of my life

08:16But now I know

08:17No, I don't take it personal

08:21If you got a really lovely place to go

08:25I'm gonna chase my goals

08:27You gotta make me whole

08:28Cause it's urgent we love and be loved

08:29I'll be going to 12-1 for detergent to shine up my soul

08:32Don't let my clothes drag you down

08:34If you don't see me around

08:39It doesn't mean that I fell

08:43Yeah, I'm doing well

08:45I've got some roses to smell

08:47I hope you smile when I'm gone

08:52Cause every screen that we type is screaming

09:08The bigger is better, better is how you make yourself matter

09:10But matter is fleeting, I'mma live in a feeding machine

09:12Then I'm blind to see

09:13No point to hide in my pride if there's no privacy

09:17I've already dedicated too much of my time to trying to get for followers

09:21I've been crying out for attention

09:22It's leaping around to mend a hollow crater inside of me

09:25Knowing well that it don't mean shit

09:27Going to the well for another cheap dopamine hit

09:31I'm done being a bitch to ambition

09:34I'm already rich

09:35I gotta have this full of million dollar questions

09:38And the length of it is

09:39I don't need the courage to work

09:40I want the strength to quit

09:41Well, I might go through you down

09:44You don't see me alone

09:48Does it mean that I fell

09:52I'm doing well

09:54I've got some roses to smell

09:57I hope you smile when I'm gone

10:01It means I have a state to move on

10:05To find another story to tell

10:09Answer the bell

10:11Answer the bell
