Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying Lyrics - We Are The Movies

How many seconds have I 

Wasted up in my head? 

Too many questions with 

Clear answers that were never said. 

Sinking deeper, 

Overcome by the pressure 

Of making dreams reality 

And holding them together. 

This fear of failure 

A waste of potential, 

And plans without effort 

Are inconsequential. 

These feet in my shoes 

Still have room left to grow. 

So I'd better start walking 

'Cause now I know that 

Time is too precious 

No sense in denying 

Existing is easy, 

But barely surviving. 

I'm sick of excuses, 

So finally I'm trying 

To get busy living or get busy dying. 

Get busy living or get busy dying. 

Moving forward is an 

Exercise in patience, 

When pain from healing wounds 

Has become an old acquaintance. 

To build momentum is to 

Learn from the past, 

And work through the memories 

Holding me back. 

I cling to the fear 

I was taught to preserve 

And accepted the treatment 

I thought I deserved. 

But these steps in my progress 

Are beginning to show. 

I see light in the distance, 

And now I know that 

(Now I know that)

Time is too precious 

No sense in denying 

Existing is easy, 

But barely surviving. 

I'm sick of excuses, 

So finally I'm trying 

To get busy living or get busy dying. 

I know the path is long 

To get this life right. 

I can't ignore it now 

No more fight-or-flight. 

Commit to finishing 

What I started 

So here I go again, 

And now I know that 

Time is too precious 

No sense in denying 

Existing is easy, 

But barely surviving. 

I'm sick of excuses, 

So finally I'm trying 

To get busy living or get busy dying. 

Get busy living or get busy dying.
