On-screen text
I DIED AND I WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY
AND I REALIZED I WAS STILL ALIVE
AND I HAD WHAT'S CALLED THE REBIRTH
AND THEN MUSIC BECAME MY SAVIOR
MY HEALING MY RELIGION
PRECIOUS LIFE IS AND HOW SHORT LIFE IS
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SINGLE SECOND
OF EVERY SINGLE DAY
WHO CARES YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE GONNA JUDGE YOU IN LIFE
AND I FIND
IT'S MUCH EASIER TO JUST BE ABLE TO TAKE A DEEP BREATH
MY ART WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE RESIDUALS
AND PROBABLY BE WORTH MORE
THAN IT IS NOW
PEOPLE WILL FINALLY APPRECIATE MY STUPID
VIDEOS AND MY STUPID SONGS
