This thing we call an existence, I stand here 
Trying to make some sense of it all 
Each pathway offers resistance, I force a smile 
But it's just not from the heart 
I'm wrong for the part 
And I work like a dog to get even, take my chances 
And go on believin', though deep in my heart I dream 
Of breakin' away 

I'm livin' a half-life 
No point of dimension 
Trying to find my way 
Do we search in the dark 
You and I, we're livin' a half-life 
Beyond our pretensions 
We're much the same 
We search for the spark 

Behind the smoke screen around me 
There beats a heart that is simple, dreams that are mine 
We're only here for a moment, we try and capture the magic 
Somehow in time, we make it all rhyme 
And we work like a dog to get even, take our chances 
And go on believin', though deep in our hearts we dream 
Of breakin’ the chains 

Are we all livin' a half-life 
No point of dimension 
Trying to find our way 
Do we search in the dark 
You and I, we're livin' a half-life 
Beyond our pretensions 
We're much the same 
We search for the spark 

And I work like a dog to get even 
Take my chances and go on believin' 
Though deep in my heart I dream of breakin' away 

I'm  livin' a half-life 
No point of dimension 
Trying to find my way 
Do we search in the dark 
You and I, we're  livin' a half-life 
Beyond our pretensions 
We're much the same 
We search for the spark 
Am I livin' a half-life 
No point of dimension 
Trying to find my way 
Do we search in the dark 
You and I, we're  livin' a half-life
