death is a dj

(album: It's Never Fair, Always True - 2023)

Call me up to calm me down, these things always freak me out
Think about the other side as I'm pushing through the crowd
And I'm feeling so surrounded but hey, if you smile it's okay
You can take another day, ay

This ain't a song about goodbyes, a celebration when you die
Fill the casket with the hope of where the people think you go
So they can sleep nice just thinking that
We are more than rock and dirt

I'm not saying I'm not struggling with coming to terms
With the fact that all of us are here to walk on the Earth
To check off a list and not die alone (lone)
And now, I'm dancing with someone I don't know

Where death is a DJ at a party
Spinning me around like I'm a Barbie
And I can't even run from it, it's obvious
That I'm not ready for the song to end

I see my shadow dancing fast and he's sexy
I have accepted nothing lasts, it don't vex me
On and on and
Death is a DJ 'til I'm long and gone and
Death is a DJ 'til I'm on and on and
He has me going down the river Styx to drown

Death is a DJ at a party
Spinning me around like I'm a Barbie
And I can't even run from it, it's obvious
That I'm not ready for the song to end

Tie a cape around my neck, jump off the roof of my house
Saving everyone from evil by the time I hit the ground
Yeah, I'm fist fighting my demons like Ali, oh my God
Down here it's not really hot, hell is really a facade

I'm not saying I'm not struggling with coming to terms
With the fact that all of us are here to walk on the Earth
To check off a list, and not die alone (lone)
And now I'm dancing with someone I don't know

Where death is a DJ at a party
Spinning me around like I'm a Barbie
And I can't even run from it, it's obvious
That I'm not ready for the song to end
That I'm not ready for the song to end
