Mad World, Outlive Me Lyrics - Hunter, Hunter - Amelia Curran

Feast on the labor of your mind 

And you won't go hungry and you won't go blind 

Feed on the pictures of all you've left behind 

Knowing they are just pictures, still and sad and refined 

Its a mad world to be stuck on the livin 

And its a heart breaker, to succumb to forgettin 

I keep wishing for something that gets in my way 

And my path is a jungle, it's got too much to say 

Outlive me, outlive me 

I love you too much 

Rubies and emeralds, 

Sapphires and such 

Outlive me, outlive me 

I love you too much 

Coal into diamonds, 

Ashes and dust 

There is a fire in place of a stone 

Softens the letters and it takes you back home 

Where once it was written, the lines we obeyed 

Now tenderly questions the choices we've made
