Cover art for Life After Death and Taxes lyrics by Relient K

the lyrics are most certainly not dead on.

"Hey taxi, send me straight to the [heart of it] The nucleus of politics [where] somebody Somebody started it Cause they taxe me with a scapel piece by piece they cut me deep and [bled] me dry until there was nothing left to bleed "

"[As] if I'm jumping off a cliff"

"there's nothing left [there to] forgive"

"leave this [defeat] miles behind me so far back I'd have to [rack] my mind [to] just remind me [I keep trying] to pick myself [back] up and then move on "

"Every breath that I inhale is followed by exhaling [sure as] the one who never [fails] I know you'll never [fail] me"

I love the wordplay in their lyrics, like "taxi" and "tax me". And "rack my mind to just remind me"

What??
