... but generally you don't get to die a hero, you just have to live each day

lyrics

Death by a thousand,
death by the one
Cling to it all, cause it’s gonna come
Slip through the fingers
it goes too fast
Either way how long does it last?

chorus
So pour by the drip And drink by the sip
It’s so tempting to leap, seems a brighter space beneath
But the call is to bleed a teaspoon at a time

Sun fades the colors,
wind cuts the plain
Lines in the dirt cause lines on a face
No glory in living,
no water to fall
A teaspoon of poison a day makes you small,
makes you so small

If dying is gaining,
then winners are last
(Sign me up but let this cup pass)
You call us to glory,
you call us to die
Without you this lame duck will never fly…
