The question is
“to be or, not to be?”
according to all ours
Shakespeare
but really that one
isn’t that hard
“to not be”
is so obviously right
the question really is
“why are we still?”

The only answer I have
for myself
is that I’m much too afraid
and I’ve nothing left to gain
from my own demise
and nothing left to lose
from staying around

I’m an un-being
something less alive
beyond the veil of
existence
I’ve got a little bit dead
to my little bit alive
but I missed out
on the answers
of the afterlife
“what are we still?”

The only answer I have
for myself
is that I’m much too afraid
and I’ve nothing left to gain
from my own demise
and nothing left to lose
from staying around

I’m still thinking
so I must be real
Isn’t that right,
Cartesius?
I’ve found that the universe
is dictated by logic
that proves it unreal
Statistics clearly show
every moment is impossible
“how are we still?”

The only answer I have
for myself
is that I’m much too afraid
and I’ve nothing left to gain
from my own demise
and nothing left to lose
from staying around

Winnings and losses
leave it to the odds
I’ve never been one for gambling
but I’ll gladly take a risk
Throw myself out there again
armed with nothing but questions
and...!

The only answer I have
for myself
is that I’m much too afraid
and I’ve nothing left to gain
from my own demise
and nothing left to lose
from staying around
and some Ren(é)aissance.
