If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
If the only point of life is not to die
(Reports are now flooding in)
Can you tell me why?
(The apparent death of popular musician and recording artist, Awsten Knight)
Can you tell me why?
(Unconfirmed sources say)
[Awsten Knight, Mark Hoppus & Dillon Francis]
I woke up in a conference room
Two guys in polyester suits
With clipboards say "We're here to do your earthly exit interview"
Before we even get to that
The question that they always ask
Is "Can you tell me how I died?"
And yes, we can, Mark, hit the lights!
You're waiting at the DMV
Ticket number 103
You hate the lady next to you
She was coughing, breathing, next to you
You said "God, please kill me now"
We decide to help you out
Now you are here, and here is now
Wait, why the fuck is he freaking out?
[Awsten Knight]
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
[Eric Nally & Awsten Knight]
My child, my child
I heard you had some questions
About policy and usage of divine intervention
I know that you're frustrated
My design is complicated
But I'm here to answer questions if you want
Okay!
I just need some answers
Like why do kids get cancer?
Why is murder even possible?
Why does heartbreak feel unstoppable?
What's the point of allergies?
Why did you even make disease?
Why's money not fulfilling?
Why do, why?
[Awsten Knight]
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Why I care, why I cry
Why I'm so terrified
Why the hell do I try?
Like, can I get a sign?
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
[Eric Nally & Awsten Knight]
Okay, I hear you and I get it
But to understand the answers to these questions
There's something else you need to see
Step into this elevator, buh-bye!
Welcome to hell!
We're so glad you arrived!
Some folks that you know are already inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide
There's no escaping, I've already tried
Good luck!
Going down
[Danny Elfman, Awsten Knight, Mark Hoppus]
Welcome, Mr. Knight
It's a hot one, am I right?
Ah, yeah I guess, I'm just confused
Like why am I here, what did I do?
Hell of a question, Mr. Sneaking Out Of Heaven
Ooh, deadly sins, let's see
You collected all seven
And you think that you deserve an answer why
When this is how you lived your fucking life
You treated people like possessions
While withholding your affections
Thought fame would heal depression
But you hated your reflection
Also, you're just like a bitch sometimes, wait, what?
Um, sir, it seems like there's been a mistake
God dammit, Janine, I really liked him
I'm sent back to that conference room
Mark says, "We've got news for you
We got it wrong, you're going back!
You survived a heart attack"
Woke up to fluorescent lights
IV's keeping me alive
Doesn't change the way I felt
Saw it all, and I still can't tell
[Awsten Knight]
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
If the only point of life is not to die
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
