about
I'm indebted to Aki Sasaki of escape(window) for his production suggestions and performances on this track. He made a good song into something special.
lyrics
ask a simple question: what makes a life worthwhile?
is it what we contribute?
the crosses that we bear?
a simple observation: we hunger to survive
is it the joy of living?
or fear of what lies on the other side?
every day is precious, but life somehow is cheap
a cracked and crumbling construct we labor to maintain
we prize our love and courage
pass judgment on the weak
is it the joy of living?
or fear of something we all know inside?
i don't believe in fairness
i don't believe in fate
suffering grants no virtue
and i have lost too much
i have built around me
so many ways to hold this shell
and as i feel them fracture
i hold my hands up to the sky
ask a simple question: how much can one life bear?
what use are love and courage when all else falls apart?
we suffer slings and arrows
we grunt and sweat and bear these ills
but everyone has limits
and we all have to reach the end sometime
