Forever's Like Life

(album: Acid Reign - 2013)

I don't want to live forever
I think I had enough the first time around
I can't say that I don't wonder what forever would be like
But I don't want to live forever...
If forever's like life

I'm walking in a dead society
The whole world's swinging on a broken thread
And I can see it in the eyes of every man that walks by me...
This ain't the way they planned it
They're trying so hard to understand it
Broken dreams and broken bones
A world of kings without a throne
I see a homeless man sleeping outside of a foreclosed home...
Just trying to understand it cause this ain't the way we planned it

I don't want to live forever
I think I had enough the first time around
I can't say that I don't wonder what forever would be like
But I don't want to live forever...
If forever's like life

I'm walking with this debt inside of me
My whole world's swinging on a broken thread
And I can see it in the mirror every time that I look inside me...
This ain't the way I planned it
I'm trying so hard to understand it
Broken dreams and broken homes
A daddy leaves his kids alone
I put them on the back burner for something I could never own
But why can't I understand that
This ain't the way God planned it

I don't want to live forever
I think I had enough the first time around
I can't say that I don't wonder what forever would be like
But I don't want to live forever...
If forever's like life
