Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothin' in sight?
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective
You know I used to weave my words into confusion
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothin' in sight?
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
And so I hope you'll understand me when I'm through
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said
Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
Why am I fighting to live if I'm just living to fight?
So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead
You know I'm trying to give, so c'mon give me a try
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
But reality will make my dream come true
