    LYRICS:
    I can smell the death on the sheets
    Covering me
    I can't believe this is the end
    But this is my deathbed
    I lie here alone
    If I close my eyes tonight
    I know I'll be home
    The year was nineteen forty one
    I was eight years old and
    Far far too young
    To know that the stories
    Of battles and glory
    Was a tale a kind mother
    Made up for her son
    You see
    Dad was a traveling preacher
    Teaching the words of the Teacher
    But mother had sworn
    Went off to the war
    And died there with honor
    Somewhere on a beach there
    But he left once to never return
    Which taught me that I should unlearn
    Whatever I thought a father should be
    I abandoned that thought
    Like he abandoned me
    By forty seven I was fourteen
    I'd acquired a taste for liquor and nicotine
    I smoked until I threw up
    Yet I still lit 'em up for thirty more years
    Like a machine
    So right there you have it
    That one filthy habit
    Is what got me where I am today
    I can smell the death on the sheets
    Covering me
    I can't believe this is the end
    I can hear those sad memories
    Still haunting me
    So many things
    I'd do again
    But this is my deathbed
    I lie here alone
    If I close my eyes tonight
    I know I'll be home
    I got married on my twenty first
    Eight months before my wife would give birth
    It's easier to be sure you love someone
    When her father inquires with the barrel of a gun
    The union was far from harmonious
    No two people could have been more alone than us
    The years would go by and she'd love someone else
    And I realized I hadn't been loved yet myself
    From there it's your typical spiel
    Yeah if life was a highway
    I was drunk at the wheel
    I was helping the loose ends
    All fall apart
    Yeah I swear I was destined to fail
    And fail from the start
    I bowled about six times a week
    The bottle of Beam kept the memories from me
    Our marriage had taken a seven-ten split
    Along with my pride the ex-wife took the kids
    I can smell the death on the sheets
    Covering me
    I can't believe this is the end
    I can hear those sad memories
    Still haunting me
    So many things
    I'd do again
    But this is my deathbed
    I lie here alone
    If I close my eyes tonight
    I know I'll be home
    I was so scared of Jesus
    But He sought me out
    Like the cancer in my lungs
    That's killing me now
    And I've given up hope
    On the days I have left
    But I cling to the hope
    Of my life in the next
    Then Jesus showed up
    Said "Before we go"
    "I thought that we might reminisce"
    "See one night in your life"
    "When you turned out the light"
    "You asked for and prayed for my forgiveness"
    You cried wolf
    The tears they soaked your fur
    The blood dripped from your fangs
    You said, "What have I done?"
    You loved that lamb
    With every sinful bone
    And there you wept alone
    Your heart was so contrite
    You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
    Sanctify this withered heart of mine
    Stay with me until my life is through
    And on that day please take me home with you"
    I can smell the death on the sheets
    Covering me
    I can't believe this is the end
    I can hear You whisper to me,
    "It's time to leave
    You'll never be lonely again"
    But this was my deathbed
    I died there alone
    When I closed my eyes tonight
    You carried me home
    I am the Way
    Follow Me
    And take My hand
    And I am the Truth
    Embrace Me and you'll understand
    And I am the Light
    And for Me you'll live again
    For I am Love
    I am Love
    I, I am Love

    For the last 12 years, I have heard this song at least 3000 times. And it still makes me cry every single time I hear it. Jesus is real, He is alive, and He will never leave or forsake you if call on His Holy Name. I was a lost, despicable sinner who wanted to be alone in my shame for so long. I wanted to die, but one night I broke down and prayed to Him like I had never before. My life was changed that night. Now I'm a married man with a wonderful wife, and 2 awesome children. My kids won't let me play this song with them in the car, though. They don't like daddy crying.

    This song makes me appreciate life more and more, especially knowing that Jesus is always the same distance away and I just have to cry to him with faith before it’s too late. At the end of the day, he’s the only source of love you need. No matter what happens on this earth infested with sin and sadness, I’ll always come to Jesus just as the man in this song did.

    I love that you can hear the audience singing along.
    especially the hopeful parts near the end.
    the crying wolf's confession "what have I done?",
    and living Lamb's reply "I am Love."
    When the entire audience is singing every word of a song this wordy and complicated,
    it shows just how impactful the song has been.
    This song has saved lives. Plural.

Now im 18 and it still means a whole lot to me and always makes me feel a little less alone, as if i was listening to the story of the man in the song. I feel its something heavenly but everyone has their own unique experiences with this song.

    Ive left the faith, i couldnt reconcile the current political landscape with whats in scripture, and through more study and discussion i came to the decision i dont believe or want to adhere to the bible. Even in my state of heresy and apostasy, this song is still devastating, and my only tattoo to this day is the flower on the cover of mmhmm. Relient k is an excellent band regardless of belief, and ill sing every lyric at the top of my lungs at every show of theirs i can get to.
