My Last Day On Earth Lyrics - Always, Then & Now - Jay Brannan

If this were my last day on earth 

I wouldn't cry 

If you tried to sell me another year or two 

I wouldn't buy 

There's something dark, 

Ugly but beautiful, 

Crawling underneath my skin 

Not every black thread 

Sew something suitable 

So tell me how you know so much 

About somewhere you've never been 

Picture frame, picture perfect, 

Picture all you've ever wanted 

And since you refuse to picture both 

Does that make you safer, 

Or more likely to be haunted? 

I've come a long way, travelled so far 

Searching out this meeting of the minds 

But if eyes are the window to the soul 

You've drawn the blinds, 

Drawn the blinds, 

Drawn the blinds 

If this were my last day on earth 

I wouldn't cry 

Classic take on an old modern wake 

To say goodbye 

Simply charmed, a little dangerous 

Never too alive in the morning 

We came unarmed, 

But there was change for us 

So holding all this broken, 

Not as sudden as you say 

So wear, my sweater 

And die by your own hand 

You swore you could do so much better 

So there, now's your chance 

I thought I was contributing to some sort of dialogue 

But now I can see, I'm just part of the noise and insanity 

And I love the way this feels but get off me 

The final play is just the last of the drops 

Your hoodlum boys and you box of craft 

The breakfast you made were the best of the best 

Love cardiac snap crackle open my chest 

Watch me write, twist and shout 

Duck as Pandora flies out 

Duck as Pandora flies out out out 

Duck as Pandora flies out 

If this were my last day on earth 

I wouldn't cry 

If you tried to sell me another year or two 

I wouldn't buy
