We're Dead Before We Die

We are dead before we die
we've shed tears before we cry
and all the while we say we live
we breath and try not to think of what we did.
smothering ourselves with thoughts of regret
what we want and what we had

We forget to live the future
as the future crashes by
three times three is seven
never stop asking why

The past has burnt behind us
the memories smouldering gold
The more wasteland grows inside us
the more we think we're old

We're dead before we die
we cannot live when we do not try
