In The Balance

While I choke strangled by the hands of time

My life slowly slips away

The dollars I save aren't worth the days I've spend

With images of freedom as lies in my head

The hand that feeds will always bleed me dry

Through these hours these minutes these moments are mine

Intensify

No one else will guide the way

Break the silence before it breaks us...

Down to a point from where there's no escape

Where regret destroys whatever life remains

And you when you've told yourself a lie

The path of least resistance destroys you in time

Is it heresy to want to live today? that's not asking to much

So many are barely getting by and starving in the streets

While in denial of death yet still afraid to be free

We grovel beneath the pantheon of security

Assured as we sell our dreams to buy our pain

That "the meek shall inherit" when only the strong will reign

All life hangs in the balance I won't wait until it drops

I can't wait they might not have another day

I have to live I might not have even on more day
