Reason To Live

I will take my punishment
All that this world has to give
I don't need a reason to die
Just one more reason to live

Mother Nature
Father Time
Hold no secrets
I can't find
I'm their illegitimate son
She wracks my body
He ravages my mind

I'm an angel
With feet of clay
I'm a martyr
Who's seen his day
Heaven knows it's a cold wind that blows
What was so close
Is now so far away
Far away
