Nonfiction - Reason to Live

All I wanted was a reason to live
Was I asking too much?
Everybody needs a reason to live
Not just a lame crippling crutch
All I wanted was some strength
To try and try again
I've exhausted my entire supply
Crestfallen, fallen

All I wanted was a reason to live, to embrace
Without direction I'm just one more poor lost case
Every time I think I've got a chance, I wake up
Nothing's better than a dead end dream
To pick me up

All that lies ahead of me
Is pitiful complacency

All I wanted was a reason to live
Said I know
But my future's coming bleak at best
So shallow
Day to day I walk a programmed path
How 'bout you
Why can't I add meaning to my life?
I wish I knew

All that lies ahead of me
Is pitiful complacency

All I wanted was a reason to live
Doesn't hurt to ask
But pain wrenches behind my sane and solemn mask
At a point in time of no return
By myself
I was one who couldn't seem to learn
To love life itself

All that lies ahead of me
Is beautiful discovery
