8. Stolen Life (2:58)
[Lyrics: Michael Amott, Music: Michael Amott]
Everything so clear now
It's written on your face
In a world within a world
I can smell the bridges burn
Sharks ever circling
They never go away
In these dark, murky waters
So hard to navigate and so easy to hate
Paint me black, demonize me
This is how you pay me back?
Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn
Honesty is just a word
This is a stolen life
Before you walk away
Don't forget to turn the knife
What's next, more betrayal?
Have I not suffered enough?
You made me feel so alive
Now you're just killing me, killing me
Carve away the rotten flesh
It's time to burn
Strip away the dirty lies
Expose the ugly truth
Everything so clear now
It's written on your face
In a world within a world
I can smell the bridges burn
Sharks ever circling
They never go away
In these dark, murky waters
So hard to navigate and so easy to hate
Paint me black, demonize me
This is how you pay me back?
Do you ever really know someone until you look away?
Misplaced my trust, only to learn
Honesty is just a word
This is a stolen life
Before you walk away
Don't forget to turn the knife
What's next, more betrayal?
Have I not suffered enough?
You made me feel so alive
Now you're just killing me, killing me
Carve away the rotten flesh
It's time to burn
Strip away the dirty lies
Expose the ugly truth
