Appreciation and the Bomb - The Spill Canvas

I gathered you here to say my last peace

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 my pain

If there’s one thing I’ve learned

It’s that we never feel the heat until we get burned

But we tried 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 tried 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

Brittany you never ceased to amaze me

Maybe some day you’ll get another chance to be

Mom i wish 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 tried so hard not to die

Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
