I walked home in a blizzard
It was fucking cold, but I didn’t care
I was listening to this book about
How suffering is good for you
I had this sense I was moving somewhere
Maybe to death, only to death
Really that’s all that we know
But knowing that somehow is freeing
The world does not care where I go
They say as you get better
You don’t give up your pain
It’s just that what you do with it
Gets less insane
The meanings I’ve made weren’t meant to last
The things that would pull me, let go quite fast
When I found that they’re grip wasn’t inevitable
Only is death’s, only is death’s
Really that’s all that we know
But knowing that, somehow, is freeing
The world does not care where I go
And if it don’t care
Then I don’t care
It’s easier said than done
Cause if I didn’t care
I wouldn’t feel
Constantly on the run
I feel you still
Watching me
Hoping I do what I should
But there’s something else
That’s watching us
I’d see it if I could
I’d see it if I could
I’d see it if I could
It’s only death, it’s only death
Really that’s all that we know.
And it whispers to me constantly
The world does not care where I go
