Lyrics
Did you earn your freedom?
Did you earn your place?
Did you earn the right to spit in my face?
When the shell pushed my head,
into the black,
there was no tunnel,
no one to guide me.
This is the day that I died,
The best day of my life.
As the flesh buckled under,
as the muscle burned.
As I watched the flame,
take the fire from me.
There was no flashing,
there was no white light.
All I had was that moment,
electrify me.
This is the day that I died,
The best day of my life.
No one can understand,
the fortune that it implied.
That was the day that I died,
Don't even think to cry,
and now I have a chance to be a better man.
This is the day that I died,
The best day of my life.
No one can understand,
No one can understand.
I'm half the skin, but twice the human.
Part machine but more alive.
Less the parts, but greater the sum.
I'm more than the spirit that survived.
This is the day that I died,
The best day of my life.
This is the day that I died,
The best day of my life.
