Half Lives

You wake up at sunrise
Unclench your tired eyes
Bid your bed goodbye
Shrug on a tie
Brush on a smile
You know it's going to be a while

But then you get back from
Another day of humdrum
You're finally free to feel
You throw off your jacket
Put on a record
Rediscover life's appeal

'Cause it's your half life
We all live half lives
Don't deny
The fire inside
Dying to come alive
It's your half life
We all live half lives
So step outside
Breathe in the night
Those are your stars in the sky

You're strapped on a train
Studying the faces
Staring out in space
Counting the days till
They get some free reign
Till then it's all the same

But when they get back from
Another day of humdrum
They're finally free to feel
They'll throw off their jacket
Put a record on
Rediscover life's appeal

'Cause it's your half life
We all live half lives
Don't deny
The fire inside
Dying to come alive
Yeah it's your half life
We all live half lives
So step outside
Breathe in the night
Those are your stars in the sky

We must feed our body with a cheque from monotony
But only you can feed your soul
They might steal your hand away to play this monopoly
But they'll never steal your goals
You must see that your time is more than a commodity
Or you'll never see the light
Don't wanna reach senility and look back to all you
Could've been, should've been, would've been
In your half life

It's your half life
We all live half lives
Don't deny
The fire inside
Dying to come alive
Yeah it's your half life
We all live half lives
So step outside
Breathe in the night
Those are your stars
In the sky

It's your half life
We all live half lives
Not dead nor fully alive
But a half life's
Better than a no life
I'll take my half and I'll do what I like

It's your half life
We all live half lives
Not dead nor fully alive
So step outside
Breathe in the night
Those are your stars
In the sky
