Euthanasia (Live at Hawthorne Theater, Portland, OR)

I was right there, while you fought tooth and nail

Gasping in the gas mask, thrashing 'til you disappeared

Say you're not scared

That you know it's because I cared and

Say you know I love you, and that hope was just not there

And I know, I know that I'm wrong

That when you're gone, you're gone

And I can't bring you home

But I want, I want to believe

That you'll remember me

When you're just memory

Roots in the ground

Or uploaded to the cloud, or

Warm inside our hearts or as electrons in our head, nowhere now

Over the rainbow, can I stop by and say hello?

And sorry, I would take it back if I could, but I know

To love one from too far to call

Is not to love at all

To whom is it I talk?

But I want, I want to believe

That you can still hear me

When you're just memory

Said, "It's okay"

"And it'll all be over soon"

"I'd never let a bad thing happen to you"

"Now, goodnight, I love you!"

And every, everybody dies

Fighting for their lives

Just trying to survive

Well, now I know, I know why we say

That there's a better place

That waits beyond the grave

Oh, oh

And I know, I know it's not true

There's just no more you

But as long as there's no proof

Then I choose, I choose to believe

That we'll meet in sweet dreams

After you're put to sleep
