How to be alive

I can't seem to make it right
little bit by little bit
this could take all life

so if I don't wake up tomorrow
was it all significant
or just a waste of time

chasing the imaginary
repeating days that make you stay awake
through nights
happiness made secondary
now list the things that made you walk astray from light

I followed all the ways
on how to be alive
studied all the manuals
been living in the bindings of numbers
I never found a day where I could see
through all the blight
oh how to be alive

so if I don't wake up tomorrow (will I leave with no regrets?)
was it all significant
or just a waste of time I’m

chasing the imaginary
repeating days that make you stay awake
through nights
happiness made secondary
now list the things that made you walk astray from light

I followed all the ways
on how to be alive
studied all the manuals
been living in the bindings of numbers
I never found a day where I could see
through all the blight
so if you take away the lens you'll find

kaleidoscopic lies

I followed all the ways on how to be alive
I never found a way on how to be
waste of time

I followed all the ways
on how to be alive
studied all the manuals
been living in the bindings of numbers
still searching for a day where I could see
through all the blight
so if you take away the lens you'll find
(for a day where I could see)
through all the blight
oh how to be alive
