Death Thing

Lyrics

Let's try to end on a pleasant note
 
 You've ended endless things and you how it goes
 You'd lick your wounds
 But they're in a jar on the shelf
 You lick a stamp on a letter to your old self
 You always liked being good at things, didn't you?
 Isn't it funny what a person can get used to?
 And now, just look what you've done
 I hope you're happy 'cause you've beaten everyone
 I think it's fair to say that the word is all over town
 Did he answer? (No)
 Did he answer? (No)
 Did he answer? (No)
 Not even a whisper? (No)
 So it's over? (Yes)
 Now you know the drill
 You're the expert
 You're the expert
 You're the expert
 You're the expert
 Congratulations, you've really got this death thing down
 ♪
 You're really good at making introverted people come
 First grade, fourth place, standing broad jump
 Violent and velvet painting
 Slaughtering and ego-taming
 You clocked one thousand hours, baby
 You could master all of them
 ♪
 You can take your everlasting love and you can have it
 Though you don't always get to pick what you get good at
 Now, look how far you've come
 You used to need them
 And now you could lose every one
 Without even blinking an eye
 So go on, put on your crown
 Did she answer? (No)
 Did she answer? (No)
 Did she answer? (No)
 Not a single heartbeat? (No)
 So it's over? (Yes)
 So you know the drill
 ♪
 You're the expert
 Congratulations, you've really got this death thing down
 You've really got this death thing down
 ♪
 You've really got this death thing down
 You've really got this death thing down
 You've really got this death thing down
 
 Jai Guru Deva
 Om
 Yeah, you've really got this death thing down
