Life And Death

(album: The Screaming Jets - 1995)

A memory ain't enough to ease the pain from the loss of a brother
A sedative ain't enough to clear my brain, I don't wanna live without you
They say just take the pain until it's over
But I say this ain't no game its more like some kind of torture

It's like a mirror hanging over me
If I don't lift my head, I'm never gonna see
It's not the way you win or lose its how you play
And things will never be the same

Experience is that what it's all about 'cause I'd much prefer the laughter
Its serious but if life comes after death, well I guess that's what we're after
And they say just take the pain until it's over
But I say this ain't no game its more like some kind of torture

It's like a mirror hanging over me
If I don't lift my head I'm never gonna see
It's not the way you win or lose its how you play
And things will never be the same, no no no

I got no idea but I guess I'll have to live with all the feelings I have for you
And when tomorrow comes I'll probably make mistakes but to new grounds I can venture
And I hope I'll be the same when it's all over
And I hope I'm not insane just kind of wrapped up in torture

It's like a mirror hanging over me
If I don't open my eyes, I'll never see
It's not the way you win or lose its how you play
And things will never be the same

Well, I've always had the feeling that I was doing this for you
And I've always known you're right beside me too
But there's nothing in this whole damn world that's ever been one linger ideal
It's so bizarre at times it's so unreal

Now you feel so distant like you're in another world
And I've gotta get my mind out of this sorrow

It's like a mirror hanging over me
It's like a mirror hanging over me
If I don't open my eyes, I'll never see
It's not the way you win or lose its how you play the game
And things will never be the same
