We swing on a balance every single day we live
With nightmares and dreams that fill our heads
Tears of sorrow and tears of pure unending bliss
But sometimes we sway towards the dreaful end
And we let it conquer us no matter how we defend
This life and death struggle; we'd die for it to end
Waste away the hopes of all our worthless lives
All our pathetic, tiny dreams we dare to live for
Our quarrels we believe will end if we give our time
And yet life is so great; wouldn't dare risk changing
Our broken hearted love fills our world with meaning
Then those quiet fears leave our lives ever changing
Death is an extreme worse than our lives could ever be
No one can deny the marvelous pleasentries of our lives
Death can cure ailments we fought all our lives against
Dreams break our morning tears with a small view
The reality we once longed for now a hope renewed
With life a nightmare and no one sees from our view
Breathe a sigh of relief when your weight is lifted
A soul floats to a wonderful end we waited long for
But a nice thought when we await our gentle return
Never again do we wake from our wonderous dreams
Don't awake to a nightmare that never ends it seemed
Don't know until we sleep how horrid are our dreams
But the life that we live is so broken and is so painful
Never again can we enjoy our pleasent friend's company
Our loving shadows return no smiles to our face there
And when we look back we see only a life we wanted
And it isn't ever a question to what we really needed
Life over death is all we really should have ever wanted
