Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea (Live To Tell)

(album: Masks - 2014)

To all my friends, I'm already dead
Can't keep these voices out of my head

I'll live for your sins if you'll die for mine
Time to wave a white flag or I'll draw the line
Let's make a toast to a new era of terror
I'm living proof of man made error
They say these demons put up a fight
But barking dogs will seldom bite
I'm done playing god
I'm barely cured
I'm done playing god
I'm barely cured
Addicted and self afflicted, this must be endured
I just wanna be pure
I just wanna be pure
What am I chasing?
Neurotically numb to all these dreams I'm defacing

Somewhere along the way, I lost the light
That used to shine from the shore so bright
And sometimes, I swear, it feels like I won't survive
But I swore to myself
That I'm gonna' live to tell the tale of how I learned to sail
Against the wind, on a sinking ship
Through the storm in my head that I thought would never end

This world is sick
This world is sick
This compass isn't broken, there is no north
We're in the middle of the ocean so we stay the course
I will beg for no man
Because I'm in love with the end of my life
Attente Tormente. Today me, tomorrow thee
"He who lives on hope will die fasting"

Never turn your back on the sea
'Cause once you do, take it from me
You'll never outrun the ocean with her waves in your lungs
And we could drown in vain
Or become living proof
And I don't know about you...

But I'm gonna' live to tell the tale of how I learned to sail
Against the wind, on a sinking ship
Through the storm in my head that I know may never end

To all my friends, I'm already dead

My generation would die for a fucking feeling
I would die to feel alive
My generation would die for a fucking feeling
I would die for a feeling
