short and sweet

  sözler:
  you ask what is the quality of life?
  seeking to justify the part you play
  and hide, fearing it incomplete, to try
  to make it any more or less than short and sweet
  
  but short, short is from you to me, as close
  as we are wont to try to make it be
  we're caught watching the dark in the sky, who knows?
  helpless as time itself to hold the time of day
  
  and you, you are a fantasy, a view
  from where you'd like to think the world should see
  be true and you will likely find a few
  building a vision new and justice to our time
  
  and we, we, the immoral men, we dare
  naked and fearless in the elements
  and free, carefree of tempting fate, aware
  and holding off the moral nightmare at the gates
  
  and sweet, sweet as a mountain stream, we'll look
  toward a new day breaking in the east
  we'll meet as every future dream unfolds
  and surely quality that is the very least
