Dying to Live

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 By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads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 see'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
