Lyrics
Hi Guy
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.
Like a siren in my head and there is no emergency,
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat,
Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to bite,
Like a hurt that keeps me focused though I think I've gone astray,
Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day.
Like a dream, a beautiful dream, not worthy of so I deny... I deny.
You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place,
You never open them, so it passed you by.
You close your eyes, so you may never fall from grace
You open just in time to say goodbye.
Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing and runnin' wrong
Why is this so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
Like a spring that can't be uncovered until it's time to drink,
Like a puzzle, with missing pieces, and the box is thrown away.
Like a release from prison that you didn't know you're in,
Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from way back then,
Like a general without a mission until the wars will start again.
You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place,
You never opened them so it passed you by.
You close your eyes so you may never fall from grace,
You open just in time to say goodbye.
Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing and runnin' wrong
Why is this so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a touch from heaven and honest brise that brings you straight down to your knees
Like a touch from hell to feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
Like a touch from heaven and honest brise that brings you straight down to your knees
Almost like your life,
Almost like your endless fight,
Struggling along,
Balancing and runnin' wrong
Why is this so hard,
Always pull the joker card,
Almost like your fight,
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.
