Array ( [sid] => 40027 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Killing myself to live. [time] => 2004-03-24 06:37:52 [hometext] => [bodytext] => Well people look and people stare,
Well I don't think that I even care.
I work my life away and what do they give?
I'm only killing myself to live,
Killing myself to live.

I take a look around and what do I see,
Pain, suffering, and misery.
It's not the way that the world was meant,
It's a pity we don't understand;
Killing myself to live.

You think I'm crazy ,
I know that it's true.
Before that they know it I think,
That they'll go crazy too.

I don't know if I'm up or down,
Whether black is white or blue is brown.
The colors of my life are all different somehow,
Little boy blue's a big girl now.

So they think it's me who's strange,
But they've never had to make the change.
Never throw your dreams away,
You'll end up paying till your dying day.

Yeah good write... Isn't it funny, we go to work to make money so we can afford a home to go back to so that we can go to sleep to go to work again... Life feels like that sometimes, well most of the time... At least that's what I got out of the first part of it... LOL....
