Sitting awake before the morning sun Only 'cause I couldn't fall asleep while the night was young I'm restless, can't call myself stressless These past weeks have left me breathless and senseless
My brother from another mother lost a brother My father lost his father, I lost a friend, something that I couldn't comprehend We'll never see these men again Once upon a time life was so innocent
We're past the past The now is now The future will be here in a minute But I don't care what's going down
Anyhow, I miss the time with the many smiles When we could always stretch it for a little while Now you're gone and it feels like I'm alone Oh goddammit, how I miss you so
Sometimes it will feel time can stop Sometimes I feel like giving up But then I hear a voice inside of me Saying: "Better die with your chin up, than living on your knees"
Daydreaming is OK sometimes But to face the facts really hurts And when you finally feel the weight of your burden Get up again if you kiss the dirt
I'd rather live one day as a lion Than live a hundred years as a sheep I'd rather reign in Hell than serve in Heaven Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep
The past is gone The now is now The future will be here in a minute But I don't care what's going down, what's going down
People tell me: "Pick yourself up off the road" Can't I just stay and get squashed like a little toad? They'll say you have a burden to carry Somewhere along the line there's a girl to marry
But don't worry, I'll get up I won't give it up even if it won't stop Hurting in my heart now that we're apart My chronic pain is about to start, will it be hard?
I'd rather live one day as a lion Than live a hundred years as a sheep I'd rather reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven Live my dream out in reality and not in my sleep
The past is gone The now is now The future will be here in a minute But I don't care what's going down
'Cause we're past the past The now is now The future will be here in a minute But I don't care what's going down Anyhow...
