Disappear

I don't want to disappear
I don't want to vanish into ashes
Or a casket only live in tears
On the faces of the people that once meant the world to me
A distant memory, my image will become unclear
A couple stories passed along until it's boring
Too much time has gotten in the way of me being important
I can't take it I just watch and wait until my name fades out of history
To be forgotten like I'm a mistake
Just a typo, delete it then you fix it
It's almost as if it never existed like white rhinos
Eyes closed, thinking to myself, what do I know
Legends live forever in their tribe though
And I won't
Settle for a footnote in your story
This is my truth
Step aside, it's really do or die go and find you
And if I die before I make it I just hope you take this spirit to the skies
And you feel it when you've arrived too
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
I just want to live forever
Not inside this body that ain't possible but I'm someone you will remember
Actions lead to emotions felt in your being
And if they're strong enough it seems that you never want them to leave
Except in stories bout the person that had made you feel that way
You give them praise and then they live another day
It's like, they're immortalized through the things they did when they were alive
So essentially, they live forever never die
On the path to turn these ashes into story time
Campfire style with a bottle and a smile wide
Full throttle with this gas ain't no brake attached to the whip
Cause your last if you don't win you don't exist
Past the day that your body drops in a grave
You might get mentioned here or there but essentially you're erased
This game of life is really just a race against the clock
And to make it more exciting you don't know when your times up
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
Live on past the days of when you're gone and passed away
Find it in your heart to have the courage to bring change
I know that it's hard but nothing easy sets ablaze
The soul of a person, let your fire pave the way
Live on past the days of when you're gone and passed away
Find it in your heart to have the courage to bring change
I know that it's hard but nothing easy sets ablaze
The soul of a person, let your fire pave the way
I just want to make my mark
Take the parts and make em whole instead ripped apart
And heal em up and leave some scars
To remind us of the struggles that we've overcame
And maybe we can change the way we deal with wounds in future wars
A general that leads you straight into the danger zone
And tells you that your brave to die, knowing that he's going home
Isn't one that I want on my side, so I'll just lead my own
And leave you all alone to walk the line with shattered hope
There's massive holes in the way that we choose our dreams and goals
It feels like farther down this path it's leading us to darker roads
Illuminate it with the love inside your body
Don't you hide it, let it out so we can overcome these zombies
Apocalyptic with this hunger for some money
With the utter disregard of how we're treating everybody
Cause if we valued people more on who they are instead of what they have
Then maybe this world wouldn't be so ugly
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
Moments like this
Are the ones that they'll remember when your gone
So you forever live on
You've been chosen find it
In yourself to take the struggles you've been dealt
And overcome em keep fighting
