The Love And Defiance Of Being Alive

To live is the strangest of feelings
It makes you desire so many things
The love and defiance of being alive
The lovers have stopped to believe
Conviction is no longer needed
The feeling of pain it makes us alive

Hate is the strangest of feelings
It gives you so many things
The love and desire to feel and believe
The children destroy just to see
A reason has never been needed
They hurt just to feel they are alive

To live is the strangest of feelings
It makes you desire so many things
The love and defiance of being alive
The lovers defile to be pleased
Compassion is no longer needed
In bondage they feel that they are conceived

Hate is a wondrous feeling
It makes us believe so many things
The passion and fire of love is complete
The fire of life is complete
It makes us conceive so many things
The life we desire corrodes while we dream

To live is the strangest of feelings
It makes you desire so many things
The love and defiance of being alive
The lovers have stopped to believe
Conviction is no longer needed
The feeling of pain it makes us alive

Hate is the strangest of feelings
It gives you so many things
The love and desire to feel and believe
The fire of life is complete
It makes us conceive so many things
The life we desire corrodes while we dream
