That Was Just Your Life

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 learned 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 wars 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, turn 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
