That Was Just Your Life

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. Like a bullet 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.

[Bridge:]
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.
