Lyrics

Life
 
Life
Is a longer ride
Than the moments
That make life worth while
What to do
With all
The down time
 
Down
Is worse than death
‘Cause down
Is time to obsess
On time
On loneliness
On emptiness, you see…
 
To stick around for the others
What to do for the self?
Stick around for the others
When does one rest?
 
The rest
Are as hard to find
As time
When things seem so right
Why does time choose the moments?
 
Peace…
Silence it seems
It weeps to me
On how alone it feels
Why does time speak so seldomly?
 
Stick around for the others
What to do for the self?
Stick around for the others
When does one rest?
 
Why should I wait for you?                       
If you were dead,  I’d be dead too           
To you…  So why wait?                         
Why wait?  Why wait?..                       
 
Stick around for the others
What to do for the self?
Stick around for the others
When does one rest?
 
Christ was a lucky man
To die young
By word from The Man
But, then again, even he was just a misery myth
