The Moment
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.
My whole life passed before me the moment that I died,
The times that I was sober, the times that I was fried,
The times I hit my finger when hammering a nail,
The times I went to parties,
The times I went to jail.
My whole life passed before me the moment that I died,
The times that I fell out of bed on the weather side,
My whole long life of wonder, of happiness and pain,
And it was such an awful mess,
I'll never die again.
