Dance With Life

(الألبوم: Acid Reign - 2013)

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
Cause 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'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
Cause once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to black...
Once they dance with 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
Cause who would cry if I died tonight? Ain't nobody crying tonight
It's just me against the world as I dance with life

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
Cause once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to black...
Once they 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
Cause 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

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
Cause once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to black...
Once they dance with life
