THIS IS A STANDOFF - Affliction lyrics

rate me

I should have listened to the sound of your voice and watched you cautiously<br>

pain and guilt won't live here now you're taken away from me<br>

you left a note to remind all of us to push and carry on<br>

and that's why this ignorance will prove me I was wrong<br>

<br>

I know you distraught conscience took your innocence away<br>

I know your lease on life was sold indifferent we all paid<br>

<br>

I finally found affliction couldn't hurt<br>

with all the things you pushed away<br>

punishing yourself just made it worse<br>

and I can't wait to live again<br>

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there<br>

<br>

I should have met you by the wall disarranged inhaling iou's<br>

the thought of intervention pushed aside what made you lonely<br>

we're all adjusted by perceptions, twisted notions you've seen through<br>

you put a wall around the very place you faded to<br>

<br>

and you're so berated with this visions every night<br>

you really need someone to remind you it's alright<br>

<br>

I finally found affliction couldn't hurt<br>

with all the things you pushed away<br>

punishing yourself just made it worse<br>

and I can't wait to live again<br>

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there<br>

<br>

and you're so ocupated with this visions every night<br>

you need someone to remind you it's alright<br>

<br>

I finally found affliction couldn't hurt<br>

of all the things you pushed away<br>

punishing yourself just made it worse<br>

and I can't wait to live again<br>

I never wanted anything, except relive what times I left you there<br>
