Lyrics: 
The Butterfly Effect  
The motion of one wing 
One little action changes 
So many different future things 

What if I just slept in 
Took a sick day with a cough 
I wouldn’t have been driving 
When the airbags went off 

The surgeon said something and then 
I felt the pain again 
My heart beat stops 
Blood pressure drops  
The lights begin to dim 

I’m outside my biology 
Watching my biography play 
My life flashed in front of my eyes 
My life flashed in front of my eyes 
My life flashed in front of my 

Who I am and who I’ve been and 
Time limit: seven minutes 
Every beginning leads to an ending 
There’s no defending myself 
Pretending I’m better than anyone else 
‘Cause ego’s a shell game, it’s a hell framed  
By insecurities, lack of maturity 
Versions and versions the best and the worse of mistaken identity  
I pretend to be somebody other than me 
The enemy of what I wanted to be 
Epiphany: “Love will conquer all” 
And for the first time in my whole life I think 
I finally see  

Strange little hospital room 
For me to end so soon 
My empire schemes  
Aggrandized dreams 
Soon to be entombed 

I read when I was a kid 
That after your heartbeat stops 
You still have 7 minutes 
Before your brainwaves shut off 

The irony merits a grin 
If I wasn’t outside of my skin 
That this is the last of the memories past  
Of the 7 minutes I’m in 

My life flashed in front of my eyes 
(Staring at the short film of my life) 
My life flashed in front of my eyes 
(Never thought today would be my time) 
My life flashed in front of my eyes 
(Death never gave no reason why) 
My life flashed in front of my  
My life flashed in front of my
