The Big Sleep Lyrics - Dan Swanö

Sometimes when I think about it, it doesn't make any sense 

I mean I'm alive and plan to be for yet another seventy years 

Time waits for no one 

Not even for god 

We're only immortal for a limited time 

Someone said we were only born to die 

Someone said there is a meaning with it all 

I love the world and I barely believe that I will leave it for good one day 

Someone said my religion is the way 

Someone said don't try to say that you are not afraid 

No! 

I refuse to let the angels take me away 

I have already learned what heaven and hell is about 

The big sleep is the only thing that is for sure and we're all gonna face it 

It's something we have to endure 

Dreamers say that time will come with a way to stay alive 

They mean science will finally reach its goal and offer everlasting life 

I love my life and it's so hard to hear that one day all I am will disappear 

I have seen grief and what it does to you 

The day will come when I will lose what I was made of 

I try to imagine what that would be like but the thought is so unreal so it is filtered out 

I'm so afraid that I won't have the chance to tell the ones I love how I really feel inside 

I hide my emotions for far too long 

I am so afraid to lose you all that's the essence of this song 

Am I the only one to think that hell is to be left alone 

To live without that special someone 

To feel like the king that lost his throne 

Have you ever seen the dying 

Touched the fading one 

The last time I saw the Queen of nostalgia she was basically already gone 

Time waits for no one 

Not even for heroes 

Life will have its way and we have to follow 

Someone said it might be true what they say 

Someone said I will be able to freeze the frame of what you are today 

I have no wish to be young forever 

I just don't wanna die 

Someone said our souls will live again 

I say the only one that I wanna be is me 

No! 

I refuse to let the angels take me away 

I have already learned what heaven and hell is about 

The big sleep is the only thing that is for sure and we're all gonna face it
