Day by day
A piece of me dies away
Night by night
I keep up the fight

My will to live
My will to die
Give me death
Or take my life

I am so tired of the fight
I wish I had the right
To slip into that long goodnight

Depression
Expression
Profession
Ascension

Another day
Some Joy
Some Pain
Start over again

I don't need to die
I never cry
I never live
I've nothing left to give

I fade toward the light
But darkness is all in sight
A cough, A gasp
Asleep at last
