Chasing the Dragon
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.
Free my mind, heal my scars, erase the past
Dark days to forget and memories to last
In my heart... Free me now...
Make me forget and forgive, there's no use
To go on and live, show me a way to the sun
Heal my scars...
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Let my eyes take in, the beauty that's here
That's left on this earth, my ears long to hear
A melody... Give me sight...
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
Poison is slowly seeping through my veins
Stealing the only dignity in me
- I pick them up and let them fall
- To cause your pain and hit them all
One more life to live is all I want
- I'll take the joy away from them
- See to it, they will all be damned
One more chance to heal what I have harmed
The dragon is wreaking havoc in my brain
Plays my emotion, a never ending game
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight here
One more life to live for me...
(I want the night just to colour the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away
Don't you deny that we're all human beings
We all have our flaws that can make us obscene)
- Obscene
- Give me what I want
- Give me what I need right now
- That's what I want
- That's what I need, get it
(Dolendo novit mortalis vitam)
- Tell me what I want
- Tell me what I need right now
- That's what I want
- That's all I need, cure me
(Dolendo discit mori mortalis)
- Losers
Nothing will be forever gone
Memories will stay and find their way
What goes around will come around
Don't deny your fears
So let them go and fade into light
Give up the fight
