Living to die is the first song I wrote on guitar. We shot a music video for this song but it was never released. Do you ever feel like you’re just living to die?

lyrics

He’s staring down a wishing well
And wondering what he’ll find
Just waiting for the final bell
To save him from mankind
Still locked inside a daily hell
Eighty years have gone too slow
Outlived the children he once had
He’s ready now to go

Can someone take me from this pain I heard him say
I can’t go through the silence of another day
And every minute hurts me so much more
Trapped behind a lengthy suicide he’s living to die

She walks along a lonely road
No one visits like before
And the faces that she used to know
Aren’t familiar anymore
Oh it’s a tragedy
That even memories can fade
What happens when the mind is gone
And nothing seems the same

Can someone take me from this pain I heard her say
I can’t go through the silence of another day
And every minute hurts me so much more
Trapped behind this lengthy suicide she’s living to die

“I have no regrets
I’ve lived a good life
But there is nothing here for me
My wife is gone
My kids are gone
It’s just me and I’m tired
I’m really tired
I’m ready to go’

Can someone take us from this pain I heard them say
We can’t go through the silence of another day
And every minute hurts us so much more
Trapped behind a lengthy suicide we’re living to die
