Lyrics

[01:59.31] Like a siren in my head that i was placed to repeat,
[02:01.85] Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
[02:04.22] Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
[02:09.35] Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
[02:11.93] Like an illness that i'm about to waken from its state.
[02:14.20]
[02:14.55] Contradiction,
[02:15.53] A premonition,
[02:16.68] Now are the aids who i deny,
[02:18.62] I deny.
[02:20.37]
[02:24.47] I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
[02:29.65] I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
[02:34.94] I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
[02:40.17] I open just in time to say goodbye.
[02:44.27]
[02:45.42] Almost like your life,
[02:47.95] Almost like your endless fight,
[02:50.52] Cursed, the day is long,
[02:53.03] Realize you don't belong,
[02:55.54] Disconnect somehow,
[02:57.96] Never stop complaining now,
[03:00.63] Almost like your fight,
[03:03.00] And there it went,
[03:04.62] Almost like your life.
[03:06.42]
[03:22.18] Like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
[03:24.55] Like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
[03:26.93] Like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.
[03:31.25]
[03:32.15] Like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
[03:34.58] Like a fight to live the present, i pictured it like this,
[03:37.12] Like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
[03:41.46] Start again.
[03:43.45]
[03:47.22] I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
[03:52.50] I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
[03:57.85] I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
[04:03.14] I open just in time to say goodbye.
[04:07.19]
[04:08.31] Almost like your life,
[04:10.85] Almost like your endless fight,
[04:13.15] Cursed, the day is long,
[04:15.90] Realize you don't belong,
[04:18.47] Disconnect somehow,
[04:20.65] Never stop complaining now,
[04:23.56] Almost like your fight,
[04:25.86] And there it went,
[04:27.38] Almost like your life.
[04:29.21]
[05:24.65] Like a touch from hell,
[05:25.86] I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
[05:28.93] Like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
[05:30.77] That brings you straight down to your knees
[05:34.60]
[06:38.75] Almost like your life,
[06:41.20] Almost like your endless fight,
[06:43.63] Cursed, the day is long,
[06:46.21] Realize you don't belong,
[06:48.73] Disconnect somehow,
[06:50.87] Never stop complaining now,
[06:53.75] Almost like your fight,
[06:56.00] And there it went,
[06:57.43] Almost like your life.
[07:02.75] That was just your life.
