As I Turn the Page

Shutdown… the walls are closing in once more
Pretending… a perfect life, a humble smile and perfect scores
Tears of… resignation running down his cheeks
Shutdown… of this life
Of my life.

Separation
Beyond salvation
Alone
As days drift on and on.

Show me what life was like
Back then, in better times
As i turn the page, days drift away
Losing myself, i say fuck this life.

Drinking… countless nights to sedate a concussed mind
Painting… my life black, a fragile compromise
Fears of… deprivation, all compassion failed
And no one to blame but myself.

Embrace the pain
It means we're still alive
Embrace the pain
And take my side.

Show me what life was like
Back then, in better times
As i turn the page, days drift away
Losing myself, i say fuck this life.

Light is burning
Deep inside
As i turn the page, days drift on
Losing myself, i say fuck this life.
