lyrics

Cigarettes and cancer,insanity and love
I've been searching for an answer in the sky up above
But life has no meaning unless you're doing it right
So come on baby keep me up all night

I've been sleepin, searchin, dreamin for how it ought to be
I've been sleeping searchin dreamin for a way to be free
but there is no answer, no there's nothing to find
you gotta make your own meaning, you make yours and I'll make mine

If you don't make you're gonna suffer, if you don't create you'll burn
If you don't live your life better, then you're gonna learn
That there's one way out and it's all the way down
they might give you a stone, but you can't keep the crown

When they put you the ground, what do you want them to remember?
A forest fire on the mount, or a burning ember?
So, you gotta live now, you can't wait 'til the end
because there is only doubt that there is one my friend
