Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lies, broken dreams
The dismal past
Is there more than life?
I should've known
Ending wars, when in pain
When in love, mankind is insane
[Verse 2]
And there's all these possibilities
Some will fail and some will achieve
Though in my youth
I didn't know, but what can I do?
[Verse 3]
And I may not ever see
In my pain, my suffering
Cannot live for the rest of my life
D.N.R., do not resuscitate me
[Verse 4]
Life, lost unseen
Behind the mask
And with open arms will I grasp
Open doors, open minds
Ending all the madness I hate
[Verse 5]
And I may not ever see
In my pain, my misery
Cannot live for the rest of my life
D.N.R., do not resuscitate me
D.N.R.
[Verse 6]
Wings of sadness will hold my prayers
All this madness will end my fears
[Verse 7]
Contempt in life
Conceptualize
Wrong or right
The ending of life
God save me now
[Verse 8]
Time to end it now
No going back
Can you see the light as you pass?
Ending wars, when in pain
Waiting all my life to be saved
[Verse 9]
And I will not ever see
All the pain and suffering
Cannot live for the rest of my life
D.N.R., do not resuscitate me
D.N.R.
