I've got demons in my closet that'd make your skeletons look cute
but still my mom thinks i'm a prophet and my dad is just confused
and I'm here trying to get through this life alive
I never claimed to have solutions for the problems of today
no answer for pollution or polar caps melting away
No I'm just trying to get through this life alive
And so I try, and I try, and strive
To find that split second of happiness
between the glitter and the gold
like the morning's when I wake to find your lips upon my throat
so that when I'm close to 90 and lay down for the last time
I can go knowing I live a life, alive
I never cared much for religion and politics are quite the bore
with the impending amalgamation that will no doubt end in another war
it's unlikely I'll get through this life alive
But still I try, and I try, and strive
To find that split second of happiness
between the glitter and the gold
like the morning's when I wake to find your lips upon my throat
so that when I'm close to 90 and lay down for the last time
I can go knowing I live a life, alive
