Survivor - Half-Life lyrics

This thing we call an existence, I stand here Trying to make some sense of it all Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile But it's just not from the heart I'm wrong for the part -- And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream Of brakin' away *Are we all livin' a half-life No point of dimension Trying to find our way Do we search in the dark You and I, livin' a half-life Beyond our pretension We're much the same We search for the spark* Behind the smoke screen around me There beats a heart that is simple dreams that are mine -- We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream Of breakin' the chains (* Repeat) And I work like a dog to get even Take my chances and go on believin' Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away (* Repeat)
