METALLICA - That Was Just Your Life lyrics

rate me

Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat

Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver’s seat

Like a face that learns to speak

When all it knew was how to bite

Like a misery that keeps me focused though I've gone astray

Like an endless nightmare that I must awaken from each day

Like conviction

A premonition

Not worthy of, so I deny…I deny

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place

I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace

I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by

I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life

Almost like your endless fight

Curse the day is long

Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow

Never stop the bleeding now

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 raging river drowning when I only need a drink

Like a poison that I swallow but I want the world to die

Like a release from prison that I didn't know I was in

Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave

From way back then

Like a general without a mission

Until the war will start again…start again

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place

I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace

I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by

I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life

Almost like your endless fight

Curse the day is long

Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow

Never stop the bleeding now

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 strike from heaven turns that key

And brings you straight down to your knees

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot

That it can get if I get caught

Like a strike from heaven to reprieve

That brings you straight down to your knees

Almost like your life

Almost like your endless fight

Curse the day is long

Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow

Never stop the bleeding now

Almost like your fight

And there it went

Almost like your life

That was just your life
