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 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
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?
