I just want to live.
To live.
To live.
I just want to live.

Living day to day
In a day like today
Where it's better to be okay
Than to be outstanding
With everyone so demanding
Being pushed until you're standing
On the 10th floor landing
Asking yourself, what should I do?
Should I end it all, or continue,
The life that was given to you?
Not the first time this question has been thought about,
All those times where you scream and shout
Until at last you pull yourself from the drop
You banish all relating thoughts.
And you think to yourself, what made me do that?
What made me so close to falling flat?
Until you come to the realization,
All this time it was the expectations.
You know what you need is a vactation
Ah yes, that's it!
Going away for a bit.
Getting far away from all that s***.
In fact, f*** a vacation, you quit.
You need to get away from this world we live in,
But in not a way in which You give in.
In which you start a world of your own.
A world where no one is afraid of being alone.
Where everyone can be who they want to be
See what they want to see,
Where they can truly be free.
Everyone can receive,
Everyone can give.
What better reason is there to live?

I just want to live
To live
To live
I just want to live

It's true some make it hard to survive,
They take away our drive,
Leave us deprived,
Force us to do things to feel alive.
They take from us like thieves,
When we need them they leave,
It feels as if all we do anymore is grieve
Until there are red stains on our sleeves.
You hide it because of your shame
There's no one to blame,
What is there to gain?
Until one day this one person came,
And you realized they're the same.
They've felt you're same pain,
They've been called the same names,
They've sat outside and cried in the rain,
When asked, they can't explain,
The crazy ideas that go through their brain,
They've hit the same vein.
They've felt you're pain.
You and them are the same.
Together you can stand
Hand in hand
And demand
A better life.
Away from the all the dark
Until you're wrist bears no marks
Only sparks
From a flame banishing the dark
Let's hear it for the light
Allowing us to live a life
Worth living

I just want to live
To live
To live
I just want to live
To live
