The Big Sleep - Dan Swanö

Sometimes when I think about it, it doesn’t make any sense

I mean I’m alive and plan to be for another seventy years

Time waits for no one

Not even for god

We’re only immortal for a limited time

Someone said that we were only born to die

Someone said there is a meaning with it all

I love the world and I barely believe that I will leave it for one good day

Someone said my religion is the way

Someone said don’t try to say that you are not afraid

No I refuse to let the angels take me away

I have already learned what heaven and hell is about

The big sleep is the only thing that is for sure and we’re all gonna face

it It’s something we have to endure

Dreamers say that time will come with a way to stay alive

They mean science will finally reach its goal and offer everlasting life

I love my life and it’s so hard to hear that one day all I will disappear

I have seen grief and what it does to you

The day will come when I will lose what I was made of I try to imagine what that would be like but the thought is so unreal so it is filtered out

I’m so afraid that I won’t have the chance to tell the ones I love how I feel inside

I hide my emotions for far too long

I’m so afraid too lose you and all that’s the essence of this song

Am I the only one to think that hell is to be left alone

To live without that special someone

To feel like the king that lost his throne

Have you ever seen the dying

Touched the fading one

The last time I saw the queen of nostalgia she was basically already gone

Time waits for no one

Not even for heroes

Life will have its way and we have to follow

Someone said it might be true what they say

Someone said I will be able to freeze the frame of what you are today

I have no wish to be young forever

I just don’t wanna die

Someone said you’re souls will live again

I say the only one that I wanna be is me
