Lyrics When I Died - Motley

This one time at band camp I died of an overdose
Yeah, I said this one time at band camp
Yeah, this one time at band camp I died of an overdose
An overdose of dope, yeah nah
4 years ago, 33rd birthday
Some say significant
Died on the day of my birth, tech certificates
Same age as Jesus Christ, how riveting
Parents of Mary and Joseph, legitimate
But how can I be omnipotent
Same time persecuted as a citizen
Doesn't make sense, skrt, back to the narrative
People ask me when you died what's the comparative, what's the acronym
What's it like, was there light, not gonna lie, can't put it in words but if I tried

At first, I felt tense but then surrendered, anxiety dissolved, I distinctively remember overwhelmed
Welling up with tears in my mind, crying, reliving the memories I find
Wishing everybody could be where I am, meanwhile my physical body is being beaten by a fireman
Boom boom, trying to get my chest to start breathing
Boom boom, time for Manchester to start breathing

My spirit came alive when I died inside, it told me close your eyes and ride the vine
At first, I tried to hide and deny the light
But eternal life is inside when you die, eternal life is the prize

When you die, you hear the most beautiful melodies, coming at you from inside a great ball of energy
Star like appears, three of them in the sky appeared and gave me gifts like the kings that were wise
Another biblical reference though I was raised Roman Catholic, religion is a subject that I don't quite connect with
Now I'm aware there's something there. Up until this point I don't think I was quite prepared

Another skeptic, to the point that I dissected, break it down to the point that I accepted, the human body runs off clean electric, plus there's the Wi-Fi that we can connect with, bashed words as intuition, follow white rabbits, try hard to break your unfavorable habits, like self-sabotage, and doubting these bars
Used to write hits, now I pen memoirs

My spirt came alive when I died inside, it told me close your eyes and ride the vine
At first I tried to hide and deny the light, but eternal life is inside when you die, eternal life is the prize

Now I experiment with plant based medicine and silly side bins shows me my intelligence the dimethyltryptamine stays in my brain so remain lightyears away on another plane, a plane of a whole planet stored up for years, disappear as I relax in a warm pool of tears, getting comfortable listening to stars as they pass by
Seriously dying is something you must try.
Before you die you must realize there's to parts of an 'i' before it's capitalized, if you want to survive then your ego must die, if your worlds not aligned then your ego must thrive, when I died it fully opened up my third eye, now I float out my body see it from the birds eye.
Much to experience back from my death, life's not a journey or a test, it's a fucking quest

My spirt came alive when I died inside (what you looking for), it told me close your eyes and ride the vine (I hope you find what you're looking for, I hope you find what you're looking for)
At first I tried to hide and deny the light (I hope you find want you're looking for), but eternal life is inside when you die (what you looking for), eternal life is the

My spirt came alive when I died inside, it told me close your eyes and ride the vine
At first I tried to hide and deny the light, but eternal life is inside when you die, eternal life is the prize
