Smile, You Have Life by ~Alannah-U2:iconAlannah-U2:



I believe
The most selfish thing
Anyone can do
Is to take your life
When so many would want
A life like you

I believe
That real suffering
Is what's on TV
A child dies every three seconds
But all you can say is
"It'll never be me"

Chorus

So enjoy your life
While you still have one
So enjoy your life
Above a burning sun
And just be thankful
Oh, please do this for me
That your life is not
So bad
So bad as bad
Can be

So how the hell
Did you end up here?
You shouldn't be crying
Your final tear
It's time to take
A long step back
Take a look at
What you've got
And get your life
Back on track

I believe
That life truly
Isn't worth a damn
Until you can say
Say for sure
"I am what I am"

I believe
There is nothing wrong
With being unique
When so many's lives
Are the same
Whose futures are bleak

Chorus p. 1

Heavy instrumental

Chorus p. 1 & 2 to finish

Another song I wrote for our band, but we aren't gonna use it. It is based on my feelings towards people who totally hate their lives, when there are people dying everyday in the Third World who would do absolutely anything for your shit life. I think there are people who could be offended by this, but everyone is entitled to an opinion.

I do agree with the message of this song, at least to certain extent. Depression makes you want out of this world even if there's nothing really 'wrong' with your life, and I don't think that depressed people can really be blamed for attempting to kill themselves or even succeeding.

But I, too, think that committing suicide is selfish. I believe that thinking about those closest to you will keep you alive, in every sense of the word.
