If you hear this song aloud, when I am not around
Please know that everything will be alright, and life can?t hurt you now.
If youre sick of days a quiver, is it time to stand and shout
Send your enemies to hiding instead of hiding out.

Verse 2:
(Same as first verse)

Believe me when I shout
there's no point freaking out
you can't claim a single second lost to doubt
it's the movement of the atmosphere
the way you choose to disappear
the silent shout that's what you hear
back up     (stop playing here)   < your regrets
and wind down the days you   >

And yes it's true we've loved and lost but in the end we've won
we've the best in friends and family and an endless thirst for fun

with a love of the macabre and a sideline for bad jokes
we'd rather sing of Lovecraft than sit through
Hollyoaks.

Chorus:
(same as intro)
If you hear this song aloud when I am not around
please know that everything will be okay
though I am in the ground
'cause it isn't where you finish, it's the way you run this race
and I intend to go the distance, but I'll do it at my own pace.
