lyrics

I'm not ashamed to live alone
But I've grown attached to all the things I own
So while you pass your judgment I won't
Pretend I'm something more than flesh and bone

The only way to live is to listen to the still small voice inside you

Let's leave a mark
Let's give them something to remember us by
They'll never say we wasted life

Scream at the stars
One million fragments of the sky can't deny
That on this pale blue dot we're brighter than their light

I'm not afraid to die, I know
We all have our place and time to go
But I'm so afraid for those left behind
Sorrow's leaving us is slow, oh you know

The only way to die is to die with no regrets
But I fear it's just too late for that
