Dying To Live Lyrics

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.

By some people
who've withdrawn to find their heads

Now 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?



Hey, you know 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?



Yeah, you know I used to
weave my words into confusion.

And so I hope you'll understand me when I
'm through

You know I used to live my life as an illusion,

But
reality will make my dreams 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 give me a try

You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready 

'til I'm ready ..

'til I'm ready ..

'til I'm ready to die
