Say Yes To Life

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.

There’s a sadness in the heart now of the imitation zone

Don’t forget about your brothers if you go at it alone

And I could almost take a whole life

To disclose how I feel about the now

Can’t give you an insightful conclusion

So if time is predicated on abstractions in a void

Do not subjugate yourself capitulating to the noise

If I could reach out through the screen

And give you something to believe in, I would

But I’m with you in amongst the confusion

It’s okay, don’t fear

Go be part of the new sincere

Do not let your heart go

To shit, enslaved to ephemera

Our childhood is memory, still ascended high in dreams

And I’m suspending what I held for preconceptions of my being

I only say this to affirm our time is short

But we’ve will to carry on

Transcend with our scars and contusions

I was furious and dumb, lighting fires through the town

I’d play the fiddle and forget whatever I was pissed about

I know that most of you relates to some extent

And God, I know how lame it sounds

But I’m glad I became more human

Stay, don’t go

We’re like halfway through the halftime show

Do not let this one end

Before you emerge as the winner

Hey, it’s me, I’m bringing you a case of dry

And words un-engendered fuck this, dumb city sleeps in the night

And I won’t leave you hanging in the wind

So let me love with a vengeance

My sad, sweet and unfinished friend

And we can go and mock the skyline now

Those bourgie windows full of dickheads

We don’t know a thing about

You wanna feel absolved tonight

I’ve heard what you’re saying, it’s okay not to be so alright

But don’t be alone

Did I tell you that I spent most of my sister’s wedding stoned?

Say what you want with blood and bone

And stick a finger in their faces when they say you’re overblown

Say yes to sun! Say yes to pain!

Say yes to sticking with a city through a thousand days of rain!

Say yes to grace! Say no to spite!

Say yes to this! Say yes to you!

Say yes to me! Say yes to love!

Say yes to life!

Say, say yes to life!
