Time To Live Again

This world isn't black, rather my perception is
I think we need to change the damn record
Suppose we die out, what have we as a legacy?
Maybe the last, rotten fruit at the bottom of the bowl...

Maybe it's time to live again
(Huh? Really?)
I'm getting tired of the same old...

Working myself to the bone just to survive
Guess earning scraps is the way to go
Got no time to remain in the grave
Life is too busy to just let myself die

Maybe it's time to live again
(Damn straight!)
I'm looking forward to what lies ahead
even if it's negative

I like the way there are two voices with the type in the parenthesis and the way of trying to make a difference in the life especially in that last stanza. I really like these lines:

"This world isn't black, rather my perception is
I think we need to change the damn record"

"Maybe the last, rotten fruit at the bottom of the bowl..."

"Got no time to remain in the grave"

"I'm looking forward to what lies ahead
even if it's negative"

I like how this can be seen as negative but positive towards the end. Nice though it gave me the imagery of a zombie debating whether it can claim some semblance of life it once had again.

Love how positive this is

"(Damn Straight!)"...you said it, Elliott!...
Sounds like someone is starting to see the positive side of things? ;)
I know it takes work, but you either 'live to LIVE, or live to die'...it's your choice.

Wonderfully penned!~xoxo~:)
