The Dream of Living Before Your Time Lyrics The Dream Of Living lyrics

I feel so alive
The world slips away
I'm all that is left
Life without consequence
A thousand times they said
That I need to slow down
This is all that I know
I'll rest when I'm dead
I'm chasing that feeling
That sweet ecstasy
I'm stuck in the moment
There's no hope for me

Just look at the mess you made here
Ruins of opportunity
The thing that hurts most is you'll never see

We sat by that bed
We stood by that grave
It's hard but we know
We have to let you go
Life isn't forever
We hope that you know
How much you meant to us
How much we needed you

I've spent my whole life
Being told not to try
Never good enough
Life sucks then you die
All my days I've been dreaming
Of a better life
Free of the shackles
Free of the knife


Drink away my pain
Drown our my demons
Drink away my pain
I'm down and beaten

Just look at the mess you made here
Ruins of opportunity
The thing that hurts most is you'll never see

We sat by that bed
We stood by that grave
It's hard but we know
We have to let you go
Life isn't forever
We hope that you know
How much you meant to us
How much we needed you

Will you put your hand in mine
As I cross the void?
Will you shed a tear
Witnessing life destroyed?
You say you're okay
But I can see you crying
And the doctors say
That there's no use trying
And will you sing to me
Through my decline?
Let's play our favorite song
Baby one last time
