To Be or To Not




I live in this world, I breathe its air
I live my life without a care
I smile to myself, I release a tear
I lose a memory that I held dear
Faces and faces, all so blank
All fighting for that special rank
Love is no feeling, love is a word
Love is a sound I've never heard
I try to fit in, I try to belong
I try to sing in tune with their song
Abruptly they turn, their backs are to me
Do you understand? Now do you see
I've lived like this for all I've known
Plenty of seeds of hope I've sown
I live my life behind a mask
What's behind, no-one dare ask
I reach out my hand for a single touch
I didn't think I'd asked too much
Well now I'm sick, I've had enough
My life I think has been too rough
So with these words I say goodbye
And in this coffin forever I'll lie
