In this life

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

Once in a time not long ago,
I fell so hard my knees turned red,
I fell so hard I couldn't get up,
Then a weight was lifted,
High above,
Above the clouds so white,
The clouds that don't come out at night,
It reached the stars.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

When I got up to run,
To run away,
So far I couldn't be seen,
Gone forever,
Hidden away,
So secret,
So secret,
She screams,
I have you,
Locked in the tower,
You’re all mine,
Mine and no one else's,
I'm going to keep you,
Now I have to steal you,
Steal you away from society,
Form the flocks of sobriety.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

Look at them all,
Look through the window,
Peer into the streets,
They line up in blocks,
They look to the stocks,
To run their lives,
They have them wrapped around their finger,
So useless like zombies,
They do as they're minister may please,
So useless,
So useless like fighting back,
So senseless,
So senseless like suicide,
No solutions to your problems,
Everyones' got 'em,
You want the answers you can't find.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

Like the key to no chest,
Like the map to no 'x',
Your problems lead to nothing but more problems,
And That’s a fix you can't break,
Your grabbing when there's nothing to take,
You’re as real as a poser is fake,
I've had about all that I can take,
Of your attitude,
This is the end,
It's coming close,
Look out for the edge,
Of the road of course.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

You sit in the halls,
The empty corridors,
In the third bathroom stall,
Passers pass by feel no remorse as you cut away,
Away at your hopes and dreams,
They have no reflections,
No sir none today,
For they are not people but robots,
Run by the third world war's army,
Shipped off to a battle of black,
No remorse,
No remorse from them,
They see no faces,
They know of no places,
For you to be alone.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.

What to do,
Do we condone this secret message,
The feelings that have no name the people that feel no shame,
The ones who crave fame and fortunes,
The ones blinded by the media,
They're in the palms of their children,
They follow every command,
They do as they're told,
Like every big name band,
They aren't different,
They are the same,
They are the same,
The same fake to me.

In this life,
Time is wasted,
Time is wasted,
On you,
In this life,
In this life,
I have become,
Become what no one wants,
And in this life,
This life,
I've done some things,
Things to be proud of,
Things to be regretted,
Things that keep you up all night,
Things that make you sleep tight,
But in this life I would not rewind,
Not look behind,
To change anything,
In this life.
