Live Forever Or Die Trying

Lyrics

I mixed the mortar in the cold gray light Scratched my name with a wet wood stick Stacked the brick till the wall stood tight Built it for a son I haven't met

I don't get to stay None of us will Still I pour the day Into something I can't kill

Live forever or die trying Lay the stone and let it stand Live forever or die trying Built it with my own two hands

Cut the record in a basement room Tape still spinning when I'm cold Somebody's kid will find it soon Press it loud and let it hold

I don't get to stay None of us will Still I pour the day Into something I can't kill

Live forever or die trying Lay the stone and let it stand Live forever or die trying Built it with my own two hands

The patient died The operation worked I'm reaching for a thing I'll never hold The question doesn't Want an answer back It only wants to ask And not grow old So ask it loud

Live forever or die trying Lay the stone and let it stand Live forever or die trying It outlives these failing hands Live forever or die trying Live forever or die trying
