Lyrics

i want to die of natural causes
no note left behind me
eyes wide open when they find me
fully dressed, underestimated

i've no good to leave behind
only debt, pencil scratchings
take whatever you're attached to
i won't need it where i'm going

may my body dissolve properly
these hands, once made for labor,
may they fertilize a pea-vine
grasping forever skyward

this brain once hummed with pulses
may it feed something fungal
or sink into the mantel
uploaded with the network

may my heart's course be more tragic:
it's particles, may they wash up
on one shore, then the next
'til it's searched the world over

through a trillion seasons seeking
when the world has finally crumbled,
may my heart set its course
for a distant constellation

in this way, ad infinitum
until the universe collapses

in this way, ad infinitum
until a universe is born

in the last days may my heart be there
as the universe is dying
in the first days may my heart be there
as a universe is born

in this way ad infinitum
through a trillion universes

i want to die of natural causes
eyes wide open when they find me
fully dressed, underestimated
staring through the ceiling
