| I’ve never seen life as nothing but a ball and chain.
|
| I’m stuck up in my silence, sleeping in the pouring rain.
|
| I’ve never seen life as nothing but a stage for pain.
|
| Cuz once you give and life never gives back, even the hardest of men’s hearts
|
| fade to black…
|
| Once they dance with life.
|
| The mind is such a battlefield, sometimes I wonder if it’s even real.
|
| How could anybody suffer like this?
|
| Inside I’ve been dead for so long, broken down, praying to keep me holding on.
|
| But knowing it’ll never change.
|
| But I can’t even cry anymore when the fire is blowing around my eyes,
|
| and I learn how to fly in the moment the pain is mowing through my mind.
|
| Like I’ve never seen life…
|
| I done been through hell on the back of a child’s eye, and I done seen enough
|
| bloodshed to last a lifetime.
|
| Call me crazy but there’s some things in life I’d die to not remember,
|
| the past is no pretender it’s colder than the winter and lingers like December.
|
| Cuz who would cry if I died tonight?
|
| Ain’t nobody crying tonight.
|
| It’s just me against the world as I dance with life.
|
| Looking back on life this calloused heart just fades to black, and I can’t but
|
| wonder how I got this far my mind intact.
|
| Cuz every breath I breathe is life just falling through the cracks,
|
| I’ve been given so many memories that I wish I could give back.
|
| But giving back is more than pretending you’re gonna right your wrongs.
|
| Pour your heart out on paper, write it down in a couple songs…
|
| Then go right back to steady chasing down this life of sin.
|
| OK, I admit it, I deserve this hell I’m in.
|
| I made my bed and now I’m sleeping in the pouring rain.
|
| The wages of sin is death and death is the bride of pain.
|
| And pain’s the reason I hate breathing, screaming «Jesus Christ!» |
| But it’s this life that’s got me wishing I had never seen life. |
