How do they do it?

by cant sleep   Apr 17, 2005


How do they do it?
Live day after day?
No matter the price,
They will always pay.

Doesn't it get tiring?
Failure, no success?
Never getting answers,
Continuing to guess?

How can you wake up?
Each and every day?
How can you remain here,
When i don't want to stay?

You tell me that there's hope,
You tell me I should dream.
Yet dreams don't ever come true,
At least that is how it seems.

I just want to give up.
I just want to die.
You could ask me reasons,
But i don't know why.

Why live for today,
If tomorrow is the same?
I wish that life would kill,
But for now it just will maim.
