Lyrics

Just a Life

Before I became a person
I was a son
Born without a purpose
Much like anyone

Is this just a life for
All of us to lead?

Is this just a life for
All of us to lead?
Are we writing verses...

We'll never get to read?
Are we busy working
For things we do not need?
Is this just a life for us to lead?

There are times when I
Am scared to be alive
But terrified to die
So we just get by

Is this just a life for
All of us to lead?

Is this just a life for
All of us to lead?
Are we writing verses
We'll never get to read?
Is this just a life or...?

Are we lying to ourselves?
Have we found our living hell?
Will you be able to tell if
This is all for real?

Is this just a life for
All of us to lead?
Tell me why we're working
For things we do not need?
Are we writing verses

We'll never get to read?
We'll never get to read?
