Can you live with what I’ve become
Can you try to understand?
That every time I start to feel my worth
It slips right through my hands
Now things can’t be the same
Life’s no longer a game
Our lives will never be free
And the past is haunting me
Feels like I’m waiting to die
Everyday I spend my time
Locked inside my mind
Seconds to minutes, minutes to hours
Waiting for the high
You change the channel
On your colour TV set
You think that you can see
But you’re blind the blindest yet
It feels like I’m waiting to die
If I stretch out my hand I can almost touch it
I can taste it on my tongue
But if I close my fingers and try and grasp it
Everything goes wrong
Now things will never be the same
Life’s no longer a game
Our lives will never be free
And the past is killing me
I feel like I’m waiting to die
