"Get By Then Die" lyrics

"Get By Then Die"

Get by, then die
A life like any other
I shouldn't feel alone
I'm underwater and wonder why I cannot cry
Get by then die

What the fuck have I become?
Another long-forgotten son

I changed my shape, do I belong?
The world within, and the self beyond
When right and wrong are just as strong
In every choice, I find another song

Get by, then die
A life like any other
And no more seeds to sow
I'm reticent, hesitant, desperate to stay relevant
Negligence, self-evident, I'm such a failure

Where the fuck did I go wrong?
I followed all the siren songs
What the fuck have I become?

I changed my shape, do I belong?
The world within, and the self beyond
When right and wrong are just as strong
In every choice, I find another song

What more can you take?
The earth under my feet
Voices from beneath
Fucking swallow me

Where the fuck did I go wrong?
What the fuck have I become?

I changed my shape, do I belong?
The world within, and the self beyond
When right and wrong are both as strong
In every choice, I find another song

I changed my shape, do I belong?
The world within, and the self beyond
When right and wrong are just as strong
In every choice, I find another song
