You're Supposed to Die, Right?
April 8, 2021
When the flame goes out,
You’re supposed to die, right?
When the river runs dry,
You’re supposed to die, right?
You’re supposed to die, right?
Right?
When the water fills your lungs,
You’re supposed to die, right?
When the stone pulls you under,
You’re supposed to die, right?
Right?
When your lungs stop breathing
And your heart stops beating
And your chest stops heaving
You’re supposed to die, right?
Right?
You’re supposed to die, right?
Right?
You’re supposed to die, right?
Right?
You’re supposed to die.
