Reasons To Live

lyrics

Time is running out like that muse song
And I’m a stupid ape, call me donkey kong
A monkey pondering existence all day long
I think I exist to live, but correct me if I’m wrong
So yet another theological debate
The root of all of the world problems, the pain and hate
So maybe God is telling each side, love and relate
Instead of using his name to destroy, and not create
And I’m not the one to philosophize or prophesize
But the idealist in me is fighting the realist tonight
And you could say I’m naïve and you’re probably right
But sometimes some of us need delusion to sleep at night
In a world where people live or die constantly
Or as evident on new reports on tv screens
Now God give me strength, some reason for my being
Cause I’m now searching for you until I stop breathing

I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life

I’m on the pursuit of happiness, like that Cudi song
And my future could arrive soon, before long
And maybe I’m still looking for that somewhere I belong
But I’ve been busy bouncing around like a game of pong
And I can’t keep playing games like this anymore
I’ve caught 151 and beaten the elite four
I’ve collected 120 stars, did you see my score?
And I spit so many bars, I should go on tour
I also spit many lies, a walking contradiction
Of things I say I do, but don’t do with conviction
And I often question the reasons why I don’t listen
probably because I’ve got less than 20/20 vision
That’s why I rock prescription lenses on my face
Cause daily I lock eyes with the devil’s advocate
Telling me to stop searching and reciprocate
But I fight against him, cause I’m not his next candidate

I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life

I’m so far removed from the person you used to know
I wouldn’t recognize me from a year ago
I now feel like I have grown, I have purpose
I no longer feel so disillusioned and worthless
I may not have the answers, I struggle with this
But that doesn’t mean that I should just now calls it quits
Cause this journey to discover the truth I choose to live
It may consume my being but I know it’s worth the risk

I won’t stop until I find the answers I’m searching for
I will keep going even if it leaves me dead on the floor
So do not worry ‘bout me, I’ll be about my grind
So in time I’ll find reasons to live my life
