Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat,
|
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat,
|
Like a face that learns to speak, when all it knew was how to bite,
|
|
Like a misery that keeps me focused though I've gone astray,
|
Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day
|
Like Conviction, a premonition, not worthy of so I deny
|
I deny
|
|
I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
|
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
|
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by,
|
I open just in time to say goodbye
|
|
Almost like your life,
|
Almost like your endless fight,
|
Curse, the day is long,
|
Realize you don't belong,
|
Disconnect somehow,
|
Never stop the bleeding now,
|
Almost like your fight,
|
And there it went,
|
Almost like your life
|
|
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
|
Like a raging river drowning when I only need a drink,
|
Like a poison that I swallow, but I want the world to die
|
|
Like a release from prison that I didn't know I was in,
|
Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from way back then,
|
Like a general without a mission until the war will start again
|
Start again
|
|
I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
|
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
|
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by,
|
I open just in time to say goodbye
|
|
Almost like your life,
|
Almost like your endless fight,
|
Curse, the day is long,
|
Realize you don't belong,
|
Disconnect somehow,
|
Never stop the bleeding now,
|
Almost like your fight,
|
And there it went,
|
Almost like your life
|
|
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get, if you get caught,
|
Like a strike from heaven turns that key that brings you straight down to your knees
|
|
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get if I get caught,
|
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve that brings you straight down to your knees
|
|
Almost like your life,
|
Almost like your endless fight,
|
Curse, the day is long,
|
Realize you don't belong,
|
Disconnect somehow,
|
Never stop the bleeding now,
|
Almost like your fight,
|
And there it went,
|
Almost like your life
|
|
That was just your life
|
