struggle

this life you gave me was not without pain
then why do you preach a happiness we cannot attain
i drink your thoughts of love like wine
feed my head with your bread called hope

so i remind my self that there is a purpose
one day at a time
but day by day you take my pain and then multiply
if life is short then why must we only celebrate our misery

i walk these valleys and climb these mountains for you
but at the end only more struggle remains
and in my dreams i see visions of beauty
the cycle marries it self in a twisted wine

if love can set me free
why do i not see enough of it
if through struggle i learn my lessons
then i know everything
but day by day you take my pain and multiply

i would end these days if i could
just to take two steps to the happiness you hang by a thread
still i come to you with with my dreams and my love
the cycle marries it self in a twisted lie

straberry fields and caramel ties
this life is short and day by day these lies
grow my struggle and i cannot see a way through at times
can these days just resolve by themselves
i am tired of trying and failing this life you gave
but you cut me so deep day by day
you ride me to sadness i cannot bear
and these days continue day by day
two more steps just to feel love maybe
and you come to me visions of shadows
cast on a wall  by candle light
so i will drink you wine and bite your distraction
growing tired now but maybe two more step
just to feel the love you told me is
