lyrics

I pack up the things that I've written
These are my records of livin’
It is so that you will find ‘em
But truth be told, I knew this'd happen
Play with death like it's blackjack
Because I'm choking on prozac
Putting my letters on a backpack
Hoping you'll read it and look back
I’ve made up my mind, I’m ready to die
I know I'm fucked up, so why do I cry?
I look to my back, and there’s fire in my eye
But it feels so cold, having to say “goodbye”
Doom is impending, a silent terror
I’m sure about this without a margin of error
One swift jump and it’ll all be better
Cause now I can imagine me being deader

Can’t help but imagine what will happen when I’m gone
Will anyone notice or will they say “good riddance”?
What about you, brother? Will you remember me, John?
Was my life so worthless that it’s as short as a dawn?
JUMP! I don’t give a fuck about anything
I’m done trynna understand the petty shit
Tell me how to feel? Better get fucking real
Now, I know who to kill, I know who to kill
Not desiring the fall, it’s the terror of the flames
I take off my shoes, it’s the end of the game
Everything’s clear, I know whose life to claim
Let’s get on with the show, immortalize my name

Cover your face and open every window
Here I rise like an earthly widow
Turning eternal, becoming the hero
So take off your chains and jump out that window
COVER YOUR FACE AND OPEN EVERY WINDOW
HERE I RISE LIKE AN EARTHLY WIDOW
TURNING ETERNAL, BECOMING THE HERO
SO TAKE OFF YOUR CHAINS AND JUMP OUT THAT WINDOW

Take a step forward, take a step back
Take a deep breath, have a second to relax
Strange, how even the wind feels welcoming
Goes by my cheeks and dries the tears I’ve been gathering

Take a step forward, no reason to hesitate
You've gone through this before, coward! What's there to contemplate?
Breathing’s out of sync, body’s sweating through my head
Images pass by of Christina, and it’s painted red

Take a step forward, look up at the sky
I don't wanna die, I really don't wanna die
But the fire’s getting closer, I look down at the dirt
It’s gonna be okay, just relax; this won’t hurt.

Take a step forward, take a deep breath
My soul will be shattering in colourful faith
Take a step forward, take a deep breath
This is gonna be a beautiful, beautiful...

Now this will be a beautiful death
I'm jumping out the window
I'm letting everything go
Letting everything go

- Faith

“Frankly, pop culture is a bit better at rocking people emotionally than the better chunk of the so-called fine arts.” - Kadono Kouhei, authour of ‘Boogiepop’

“...소위 팝컬쳐라 불리는 게 있다. 예술이라 하기엔 좀 그렇긴 한데 하여튼 사람의 마음을 뒤흔드는 점에 간해서는 어정쩡한 파인 아트보다 힘이 세기도 하는 놈이다.” - 카도노 코우헤이, '부기팝' 작가
