Glass Hammer — Schrodinger's Lament lyrics

Lyrics

I’m just floating down the stream, as the shore drifts slowly by
Drifting slowly in space
Counting stars and passing time
I’m just glad to be alive
When the sun shines on my face
It could all end in a flash, but I wouldn’t trade this place
Or time, or any step that led me here
If I had to do it all again
Don’t look back, don’t shut your eyes
Enjoy the ride
Right, so I’m talking to this girl and she’s just going on about her problems
and her jerk boyfriend and there’s no money, and life sucks, and blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah. But I’m thinking, ok, what if you’re walking through the
parking lot at the mall today, and there’s some psychopath on the roof with a
gun. He’s got a rifle, he’s got no particular agenda, he’s just mad,
he’s pissed off, and he’s gonna kill somebody. It could be anybody,
and he picks someone at random, and it’s you, and he points the rifle at your
head. You keep walking and he follows you, savoring the feeling,
waiting for the moment he’s going to pull the trigger, and then who knows.
Maybe you walk behind something. Maybe he died of a heart attack,
maybe he flat changed his mind. Point is, it didn’t happen and here you are
talking to me right now with no clue, completely oblivious to the fact that you
were mere moments from death. This kind of thing may be going on all the time
I’m just floating down the stream, as the shore drifts slowly by
Drifting slowly in space
Counting stars and passing time
I’m just glad to be alive
When the sun shines on my face
It could all end in a flash, but I wouldn’t trade this place
Or time, or any step that led me here
If I had to do it all again
Don’t look back, don’t shut your eyes
Enjoy the ride
