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By some people who`ve withdrawn to find their heads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
