Dying to Live Lyrics

Artist: Jonny Lang
Album: Long Time Coming

Mmm...
You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion
By some people who withdraw to find their head.
And they say that there is humor in misfortune
No, I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead...

Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see...
If there ain't nothin' in sight?
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die?

Yeah...
You know some people say that values are subjective
But they're just speaking words...
That someone else has said.
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.

Why am I fighting to live
If I'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see...
If there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give
When no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live
If I'm just living to die...

Mmmm... You know I used to weave
my words into confusion.
And so I hope you'll understand me
when I'm through.
You know I used to live my life as an illusion
But reality will make my dream come true.

So I'll keep fighting to live
Till there's no reason to fight.
And I'll keep trying to see
Until the end is in sight.
You know I'm trying to give
So come on, Give me a try.
You know I'm dying to live
Until I'm ready to die.

You know I'm trying to live...
Until I'm ready to die.
