When You Die

When You Die If this lifetime was a test, I've failed The ship I should have taken has sailed I guess that means I'm coming back again I don't know who, where, why or when I found it was tough, didn't you ? Hardest thing I've ever been through Oh sure it wasn't bad at times As long as you stayed within the lines I hope I don't return to far into the future When the world is held together by a suture If I don't return, I hope I'll go someplace I don't want to just be lost in space Someone told me what I hope was a lie This will scare you I will warn I asked them what it's like when you die They said the same as before you were born Only time will tell But I can't help but worry Maybe I'll go to hell But I won't, surely ?
