[Verse 1]

Individually wrapped, placed in neat little rows

Becoming a piece of everything that grows

Some numbers, a name, to indicate you played the game

Came empty handed and left the same

A soul is a soul and a shell is a shell

The border in between is full of everything you felt

Some cling to a cross 'cause they're tired and lost

They leave it up to the weather to measure the cost

And every time I look within I recognize the darkness

Familiar to the image of the artist

Staring at the bathroom mirror in a stranger's apartment

Can't remember her name, don't remember how I got here

But here I am, thinking about death again

Humbles out the stress, helps the breath get in

I need to check my friends as well as my next of kin

To let 'em all know I love 'em all until the end


[Pre-Chorus]

And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep

I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes

And if she has the nerve to let me dump a couple last words

I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream "Love your life!"


[Verse 2]

Love your life, quite cliché, but I guess that's me

A ball of pop culture with some arms and feet

As discreet as I've tried to keep the drama and cancer

It's no secret that I hunger for someone to feed the answers

I never expected a bowl of cherries

I'm just a Virgo trying to find my own version of the Virgin Mary

And when I let them carry me to a cemetery

I wanna be buried with a pocket full of clarity


[Chorus]

Now, how many times must you prove you're an angel

How many more demons do you have to strangle

How much longer must you remain in this dream

Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius

How many times must you prove you're an angel

How many more demons do you have to strangle

How much longer must you remain in this dream

Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius


[Verse 3]

Let no tears to fall from none of y'all

Just remember it all, the beauty as well as the flaws

L-O-V-E L-I-F-E

Here lies Sean, finally free

And as I look across the sea, I smile at the sun

While it feeds the weeds, the nutrition they need

The people still breathe, the city still bleeds

I'mma love it to death and keep planting my seeds

I'mma love it to death and keep an eye on the seeds

I'll be in love till I'm dead, I keep reaching the seeds

I'll give all I got left just to teach you to read

Love life to the death and keep planting my seeds


[Pre-Chorus]

And when the soul begins to reap, I think she'll know me from the sleep

I keep caught in the corner of my bloodshot eyes

And if she has the nerve to let me dump a couple last words

I'm gonna turn to the earth and scream (Love your life)


[Chorus]

Now, how many times must you prove you're an angel

How many more demons do you have to strangle

How much longer must you remain in this dream

Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius

How many times must you prove you're an angel

How many more demons do you have to strangle

How much longer must you remain in this dream

Before I finally figure out if you're insane or a genius


[Refrain]

Lovelife, lovelife, lovelife, lovelife

Lovelife, lovelife, lovelife, lovelife

Lovelife, lovelife, lovelife, lovelife

Lovelife, lovelife, lovelife, lovelife


[Outro]

Life, love, stress and setbacks

For those trying to breathe...
