The Spill Canvas - Appreciation

I gathered you here to say my last peace
A few final words before I am deceased
Don't change your plans this won't take long
I packed it up nice into this little song
If I could have your attention, observe this fuse
It leads to these explosives that I'm about to use
Before you freak out just let me explain
This bomb is the answer to all my pain

If there's one thing I've learned
It's that we never feel the heat until we get burned
But we tried so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
Oh no

When the spark reaches powder
I will blow up
I'll become the mist you breathe into your lungs
All of my love will then turn into yours
And you will feel hope bleeding out from your pores

If there's one thing I've learned
It's that we never feel the heat until we get burned
But we tried so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
Oh no

Dad you were there when nobody was
I followed your lead
Now i'm proud of what i've become
Brittany you never ceased to amaze me
Maybe some day you'll get another chance to be
Mom i wish you would try a little harder
Maybe catch a show or two
Would that be such a bother
To all my friends where do i start
I know i'd be dead without you in my heart

If there's one thing I've learned
It's that we never feel the heat until we get burned
But we tried so hard not to die
Sometimes we forget to appreciate life
