Lyrics: Metallica. Death Magnetic. That Was Just Your Life.

Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat
Like a face that learned to speak
When all it knew was how to fight

Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray
Like an illness that I'm about to waken from its state
Contradiction, a premonition
Now are the aids who 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 hardly feel it passing me by
I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Cursed, the day is long
Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow
Never stop complaining 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 a prison that I didn't know I was in
Like a fight to live the past I'll bring the lethal way like I did
Like a general without a mission
Until the war will start again, start again

I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace
I blind my eyes, I hardly feel it passing me by
I open just in time to say goodbye

Almost like your life
Almost like your endless fight
Cursed, the day is long
Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow
Never stop complaining now
Almost like your fight
And there it went almost like your life

Like a touch from hell
I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught
Like a strike from heaven that turns that key
That brings you straight down to your knees

Like a touch from hell
I 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
Cursed, the day is long
Realize you don't belong

Disconnect somehow
Never stop complaining now
Almost like your fight
And there it went almost like your life
That was just your life
