[00:-2.00]Metallica - That Was Just Your Life
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[01:59.31]Like a siren in my head that i was placed to repeat,
[02:01.85]Like a blind man that was shoved into the speeding driver's seat,
[02:04.22]Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight,
[02:09.35]Like a misery that keeps me from just going out astray,
[02:11.93]Like an illness that i'm about to waken from its state.
[02:14.20]
[02:14.55]Contradiction,
[02:15.53]A premonition,
[02:16.68]Now are the aids who i deny,
[02:18.62]I deny.
[02:20.37]
[02:24.47]I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place,
[02:29.65]I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
[02:34.94]I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
[02:40.17]I open just in time to say goodbye.
[02:44.27]
[02:45.42]Almost like your life,
[02:47.95]Almost like your endless fight,
[02:50.52]Cursed, the day is long,
[02:53.03]Realize you don't belong,
[02:55.54]Disconnect somehow,
[02:57.96]Never stop complaining now,
[03:00.63]Almost like your fight,
[03:03.00]And there it went,
[03:04.62]Almost like your life.
[03:06.42]
[03:22.18]Like a bullet, keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think,
[03:24.55]Like a raging river, drowning when i only need a drink,
[03:26.93]Like a poison that i swallow, but i want the world to die.
[03:31.25]
[03:32.15]Like a release from a prison that i didn't know i was in,
[03:34.58]Like a fight to live the present, i pictured it like this,
[03:37.12]Like a general without a mission until the wars start again,
[03:41.46]Start again.
[03:43.45]
[03:47.22]I blind my eyes and try and force it all into place,
[03:52.50]I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
[03:57.85]I blind my eyes, i hardly feel it passing me by,
[04:03.14]I open just in time to say goodbye.
[04:07.19]
[04:08.31]Almost like your life,
[04:10.85]Almost like your endless fight,
[04:13.15]Cursed, the day is long,
[04:15.90]Realize you don't belong,
[04:18.47]Disconnect somehow,
[04:20.65]Never stop complaining now,
[04:23.56]Almost like your fight,
[04:25.86]And there it went,
[04:27.38]Almost like your life.
[04:29.21]
[05:24.65]Like a touch from hell,
[05:25.86]I feel how hot that it can get if you get caught,
[05:28.93]Like a strike from heaven that turns that key,
[05:30.77]That brings you straight down to your knees
[05:34.60]
[06:38.75]Almost like your life,
[06:41.20]Almost like your endless fight,
[06:43.63]Cursed, the day is long,
[06:46.21]Realize you don't belong,
[06:48.73]Disconnect somehow,
[06:50.87]Never stop complaining now,
[06:53.75]Almost like your fight,
[06:56.00]And there it went,
[06:57.43]Almost like your life.
[07:02.75]That was just your life.
