Moment By Moment

Yet I can't live my life by every moment. An urge so strong, not as well spent. I need the future tense, I need the common sense. A feeling I cannot pass, Life's a splintering glass. Tell me how to shine, Show me the life to find. Your problems so unreal, Destroying a heart surreal. I've spent ages unknown, A life I've not shown. The hours fall away, I've not heard your voice today. Tell me where to go, Show me who to know. I heard a voice, Breaking without a choice. I've no life within, You'll give a praise and sin. Now show me... Now show me how to live. Now tell me... Now tell me how to die.
