Living Half-Dead



Life is too cruel for me
But death is too nice for me,
So I guess I’m living half-dead.
Life is too sad for me
But death is too good for me,
So I guess I’m living half-dead.
Life is too difficult for me
But death is too easy for me,
So I guess I’m living half-dead.
Life is too hard for me to go on
But death is too soft for me,
So I guess I’m living half-dead.
Life is too weak for me to hang on
But death is too strong for me to escape from,
So I guess I’m stuck living half-dead.
