Appreciation and the Bomb

I gathered you here to say my last piece
A few final words before I am deceased
Don't change your plans, this won't take long
I packed it up nice into this little song

If I could have your attention, observe this fuse
It leads to these explosives that I'm about to use
Before you freak out, just let me explain
This bomb is the answer to all of my pain

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we never feel the heat, until we get burned
But we try so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life, oh no

When the spark reaches powder, I will blow up
I'll become the mist you breathe into your lungs
All of my love will then turn into yours
And you will feel hope bleeding out from your pores

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we never feel the heat, until we get burned
But we try so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life, oh no

Dad, you were there when nobody was
I followed your lead, now I'm proud of what I've become
Britney, you never cease to amaze me
Maybe someday we'll get another chance to be
Mom, I wished you would try a little harder
Maybe catch a show or two, would that be such a bother?
To all my friends, where do I start?
I know I'd be dead without you in my heart

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that we never feel the heat, until we get burned
But we try so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
