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.
