Song Lyrics

This thing we call an existence, I stand here
Trying to make some sense of it all
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile
But it's just not from the heart
I'm wrong for the part
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances
And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream
Of breakin' away
I'm livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do we search in the dark
You and I, we're livin' a half-life
Beyond our pretensions
We're much the same
We search for the spark
Behind the smoke screen around me
There beats a heart that is simple, dreams that are mine
We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme
And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances
And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream
Of breakin the chains
Are we all livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find our way
Do we search in the dark
You and I, we're livin' a half-life
Beyond our pretensions
We're much the same
We search for the spark
And I work like a dog to get even
Take my chances and go on believin'
Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away
I'm livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do we search in the dark
You and I, we're livin' a half-life
Beyond our pretensions
We're much the same
We search for the spark
Am I livin' a half-life
No point of dimension
Trying to find my way
Do we search in the dark
You and I, we're livin' a half-life
