fogfixer - ship of theseus Lyrics

I am the ship of Theseus
Each atom replaced a dozen times
If I am the sum of my pieces
Why do my fears always re-align
And I've got Bo's funny feeling again
And there's no escaping it

I don't want to go to heaven
I'm afraid it will be a let down
I don't want to go to heaven
I just want to be here now

Is choice an illusion?
Is it better that way?
Are we just patterns re-forming?
Or can we change the array?
I don't want to go
You can't make me stay

I don't want to go to heaven
I don't want to go to hell
I don't want to think of any other place
I just want to be here now

Keep moving forward; no reverse
Life goes on for better and worse
Time is not slowing down
You can't escape your future now
Ticking moments, beating hearts
Knotted chests, mental scars
We slumber through this life a mess
Hurting each other in anxiousness

I am the ship of Theseus
Each atom replaced a dozen times
If I am the sum of my pieces
Why do my flaws always re-align?

Am I the new man again?
Is this what it means to be born again?
And I've got Bo's funny feeling
And there's no escaping it
And I've got Bo's funny feeling again
And I can't escape

I don't want to go to heaven
I don't want you to go to hell
I don't want to think about any other place
I just want to be here now

If I keep on running
My feelings still remain
I have to embrace it all
The void and the pain
The void and the pain
The void and the pain
The void and the pain

I don't want to go to heaven
I don't want you to go to hell
I don't want to think about any other place
I just want to be here now

Was I predestined
To believe in Jesus' name?
Or did my questions
Erode away his grace?
We're all haunted by the ripples
Of the trauma and the pain
From before our time
But we feel it all the same
Are we the universe
Experiencing itself?
Each person
Each point of view
But we feel it all the same
But we feel it all the same
But we feel it all the same
But we feel it all the same

We are the ship of Theseus
Each atom replaced a thousand times
If we are the sum of our pieces
Why do our fears always re-align?
And I've got Bo's funny feelings
And there's no escaping it

If we become one again
Will all experience fade?

If matter consumes us
If and when our lights fade
Will you come find me again?
Will you let me evade?
Come find me again
Don't let me escape

I don't want to live for heaven
Hell is just a state of mind
I just want to be here with you
To be here now one more time
I just want to be here with you
I just want to be here now
I just want to be here with you
I just want to be here now

I just want to be here with you
Draw me in, help me be here now
I just want to be here with you
Draw me in, help me be here now
I just want to be here with you
Draw me in, help me be here now

We are the ship of Theseus
Each atom replaced ten billion times
If we are the sum of our pieces
Can we find the common good this time?
Are we a new beginning? Can we start again?

I don't want to go to heaven
Living's about death and resurrection
I don't want to go to hell either
I don't want to be anyplace but here and now

Here, here and now
Here, here and now
I don't want to be anyplace but here and now
Here, here and now
Here, here and now
