Lyrics
One
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't remember anything
Is this true or just a dream?
Deep down inside I feel to scream now
But a terrible silence stopping me
Now the war is through with me
Waking up, but I can't see
That there ain't much left of me
Nothing is real, Nothing is real
But the pain now
And in this moment it's much too real
In pumps life that I must feel
But I can't look forward to reveal now
Look to a time when I can live
Fed through tube that's stuck in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Can't live and I cannot die
Cut this life off, cut this life off from me
Landmine has taken my sight
Took away my speech
Took away my hearing
Left me with a life in hell
Darkness surrounds me
All I hear and all that I see
I cannot live and I cannot die
I'm trapped in myself
Trapped in myself
Landmine has taken, taken my eyes
Taken my hearing
Taken my sight
Landmine has left me with life in hell
My body, my holding cell
And I cannot die
Now the world is gone
Just one, just one
Hold my breath as I'm wishing for death
Just one, please, God wake me
God help me, God take me
Hold my breath as I'm wishing for death
Please God, please God
Take me
Please God, wake me
