| Live On |
| Alone in this room, waiting for the sun to shine The bullet is marked with my name The taste of steel upon my lips so cold As a spin of the barrel starts this game This life has passed me by so quickly Or was it I who left it behind Driving in the fast lane, never stopping to see what I had missed The power hungry control my life A blue collar working man with no past, no future and no hope I did as I was told by the voices in my head I raised the blade and dropped it fast, staining my hands crimson I was afraid, but now all I feel in numbness The cold, dead eyes staring up at me From the shattered glass upon the ground Where they mine or were they his... I'm not sure Exocise the demons, break the burning heat Cold sweats late at night, I can't take the memories Driven by this urge, it must be this way If I end my life this night, will it all be forgiven? Please forgive me, wash away my sins With the blood of a thousand men Please forgive the chaos that I caused I'd take it all back if I could To be or not to be, that is not the question It's to pull or not to pull the trigger I hear the devil calling and I feel compelled to answer The blackness keeps pulling me deeper Staring at the ceiling, the darkness creeping in The faint sounds flowing on the wind Why did this have to happen? A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, a life for a life I've stolen All grown up, but still a child in so many ways Can I? Will I? I must! <BANG> I'm sorry, my love, to leave you here But the blood on my hands is proof of the deed I did I couldn't control myself-- the way he threatened you I couldn't let him hurt you again But now I regret that the hounds of society are after me To bring me in Don't cry, I will be all right Though I can't wash the bloodstains away At least... at least I'll be at peace Knowing you'll Live On |
