Before

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Porcelain and alabaster, decaying ever faster

Unaware of imminent disaster, open up your eyes

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time

Did you wander out your days lost and resigned?

Or recreate the universals in your mind?

Everybody is a bastard: my world is like plaster

Crumbling apart from pressure of the blaster

Waiting for a sign

And the momentary pleasures take their turn

As a wistful boy runs out of things to learn

The episodes of yore are never to return

Scare up some hope, you're gonna need it just to cope

You are the decision, numbers don't lie

When you bite the dust, was it for purpose or for trust?

You'll never relive it, think before you die

Yeah, think! Think before you die

Deficit and depravation, in the wake of desperation

Rewrite the morals, rectify the nation

Now may be your time

As you ruminate the hopeless sands of time

Do you wonder how your life has been defined?

You know eternity can't ever change your mind

You know eternity can't ever change your mind

So think! Think before you die - Yeah, think!

Think before you die
