Song Description

Spending the last few days with a dying friend.

Lyrics

First Time I Died

We sit around incased in white. This waiting room is dark but bright. White ticking clock: counting your time and chances are I?m walking home by myself.

I sit and think about the past. I didn?t think it had gotten this bad. The doctor said it?d never last and then I see you walking back. Well nothing ever lasts.

I say, ?I wish and want you to know no matter what you won?t be alone.? You say your heart and soul have been thrown and claim that death is done on your own.

This news resolved and tainted black?I beg of him to double check. ?Black stupid luck?? he interjects, ?it might be so but I?d rather go home, myself.

I fear this Friday is my last. I?ll never see Friday again. Sometimes there?s just no arguing. Sometimes, my friend, we?re meant to hang.? Well nothing ever lasts.

He smiles and states with love of the sound, ?These days have never felt so profound. Nor has that moon ever been so round. This is the biggest laugh at myself.?

?It?s alright, I?m okay. It?s alright, I?m okay.?
?This is the worst day that I?ve ever had.?
?I?m going home, catching trains. It?s alright, I?m okay.?
?This is the worst day that I?ve ever had.?
?It?s alright. It?s alright. It?s alright.?

By daylight I?ll never see him alive. No late night diners with bright neon lights. I say, ?I swear that with all that is mine? That was the first time that I?ve died.?
