The Burn Vault - Even Rock Stars Die Too (Demo Version)

It hits different when the 27 club turns 51
Too young to die, but too old to die young
Sad deaths alone in motel rooms
I found oblivion between the bed and the spoon

I never wanted you to leave
But I heard the bells chime
Cuz even rock stars die too
It's just a matter of time

I would tell you, "you're not in the wrong"
"We just wanna hear you play your songs"
To see the look of joy spread across your face
As the beat drops, the hook carries you away

I never wanted you to leave
But I heard the bells chime
Cuz even rock stars die too
It's just a matter of time
I never wanted you to leave
But I heard the bells chime
Cuz even rock stars die too
It's just a matter of time

I don't wanna go back to high school
But those songs you wrote really got me through
Do you remember the shape of your last breath
Looks like a pack of smoked cigarettes

And it makes me think about the fact of my mortality
That historic, predestined eventuality
And ain't it funny, I'm so goddamn happy
To have shared this moment with you while we were still breathing

I never wanted you to leave
But I heard the bells chime
Cuz even rock stars die too
It's just a matter of time
I never wanted you to leave
But I heard the bells chime
Cuz even rock stars die too
It's just a matter of time
