Living To Die

I heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who withdraw to find their heads
Oh, they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die
Some people say that values are subjective
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
And so they live
And fight and kill with no objective
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight
Why am I trying to see
When there ain't nothing in sight
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die
(...)
Ooooh
I used to weave my words into confusion
And so I hope they'll understand me when I'm through
You know, I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dream come true
So I'll keep fighting to live
Till there's no reason to fight
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
You know, I'm trying to give
So c'mon and give me a try
You know, I'm dying to live
Until I'm ready to die
