Life Is Suffering
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know a sin (yeah) that I do hate
A sin that I do hate
I don't know a sinner I don't love
A true unbeliever
I can't get enough of

Wise men say
Life is suffering
I'm living proof that this ain't right
Every day
Becomes my favorite day
It proves to me that I'm alive

I don't know a sinner I won't save
A sinner I won't save
I don't know a sin (yeah) I didn't die for




When the lightning strikes me
I keep coming back for more
