lyrics

The curtain opened to start
I got caught up on my entrance
Little John pulled me out of the ribcage
My mother was using to keep her alive and bring mine

I came to be in the sun
Playing outside with the sticks and mud
Trying to save every poor baby bird
Abandoned and alone till they took their last breath in my palm

I'd drop the bird and watch it fall
Its fragile body still and cold
And feel the fear replace my joy
How could a young thing so soft and new return to lifelessness so soon so

Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find
I'd rather see my own future in time
No I don't want to know how I am gonna die
No I don't want to die

And when my teacher told to me
One day the whole of humanity
Would have to relocate to a neighboring planet
I panicked, life wasn't romantic on mars

It was the first time that I felt
The heavy load of mortality
Brushing its elbows against me
Eternity an old friend that I couldn't quite recognize at the start

And I screamed in the night
My heart raced like a fire
Was growing behind
Swiftly out of control, I didn't want to grow old

Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find
I'd rather see my own future in time
No I don't want to know how I am gonna die
No I don't want to die

Don't make me gaze into that witch's eye
I don't want to know how I am gonna die
I don't wanna die

And here I am decades passed
The last few years have flown by so fast
I've seen a country or seven it's heaven
To take life by the horns when the devil inside you says stop

But it's till in my thoughts
I see my body from the outside a lot
Betrayed by my brain all that I can survey is my time
Have I misused the moment and how many more have I got?

So please pour me a drink
When I'm not feeling much
How I'd rather feel something divine
Than think about nature's design

Soothsayer you can't soothe me with what you find
I'd rather see my own future in time
No I don't want to know how I am gonna die
No I don't want to die
