Live First, Ask Questions Later

Some people look for reasons to live As if they need them to live As if without them they’d die While either way they’re alive Just as much and just as surely As they’re wasting their time Looking for a hidden meaning That isn’t trying to hide So many want to leave a mark And have a star in the concrete And work so hard to impress Someone they’re never gonna meet Life's just as much like a sword As it is like a pen Because the point's the smallest part And isn't found 'til the end
