The taste of life
I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out
I can't believe
Faith it can't decide
On and on
I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on
I tell myself
It's this I can't disguise
Oh, can't you see?
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life
The pace, the time
I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out
Which way to choose
A choice I can't renew
Holding on
I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on
I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise
Oh, can't you see?
Holding on to my heart
I bleed
No place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life?
