This life of ours
  
This life of ours
.
This life of ours a wonder it is,
we live and to say yeah we live,
but when you think of it,
it's a trap, a deep pit.
Who are we, who knows,
and who lives, who knows.
Do I live? no I don't,
will I die? no I won't.
They say that they die,
yeah people living do die,
But for whom grave's the bed,
and in scent and color blood's the only red,
holds no sorrow the idea of death,
as for them life is the threat.
Live this life trapped in this body mass,
and wait and wait for endless moments to pass.
Bound by these skies and held onto this earth,
I live every moment to regret my birth.
Yeah regret I do and regrets I have,
for of my own self I am a slave.
These bars of conscience, these chains of guilt,
they won't let me play, they won't let me quit.
So stand in the field I do,
and watch the game I do,
I watch and watch and close my eyes,
the sight remains I hear more cries.
My eyes are closed but still I can see,
these eyes aren't mine but they belong to me.
I want them shut, I don't want to see,
I want only myself and only me.
No more shadows, no more images,
inside myself I do not want strangers.
But then these strangers are not intruders,
all these aliens are my own beings.
My own being I run from,
from my own shelter I ask for freedom.
Freedom I need, freedom I yearn,
freedom to end this life,
to live which I do not want to learn.
