lyrics

Trying to live
Mourning the absence of a previous self. Saying goodbye to who I was. Do I die, just a little and let go of the pain. Am I dying, Am I dying. Just to live
Love and grieve, carry the same flame. Marching around with certain pride. We have our differences, but feel the same. Are we dying, are we dying. Just to live.
So farewell to the bitterness I held for too long. I thought it was useful, my thinking was all wrong. Farewell to the old me, that victim must regress. You're dying, you're dying, like the rest.
He sat with addiction, seven years of shame. He stole from the ones who gave him his name. His mother cried profusely, from her tears came change. So he's dying, he's dying just live.
Father oh father, you drink too much. Yelling at mother and speaking double Dutch. My family I hear you, this drinking has to stop. I'm dying I'm dying just to live
Mother was weeping, she always did too much. Mother grew pitiful, she couldn't feel to touch. She went to the healer, to let things go. She is dying she is dying just to live . Glory to the ones who can work through their pain. Problems came before and they'll probably come again. Victory is sweet if we live another day Keep trying, keep trying just to live
