I Dont Want To Live That Way Again

I kiss the day, there can be no other answer

Turn back the time and let me in

I look away, as they stare and all their glances

Now I can tell you where I've been

All alone inside myself

I guess I never knew which way to go

The time has come to know yourself

And I don't want to live that way again,

Again, again, again.



I'm miles away, as I look into the water

And there's a tide that pulls me in

The missing page where there'll be the sons and daughters

I live and die it's hard to take

Safe within, this higher ground

The pleasure and the pain has come and gone

I have been once lost now found





And I don't want to live that way again



There's a light in the distance

And a voice that cries freedom

There's a child in the mirror,

Much too long he's been grievin'

I have stumbled thru madness

Now I've made my decision,

And I don't want to live that way again



So I pull down the shutters

And I wave my resistance

And I wait for the sirens

That will ring thru my head

I was cast as a leper

Now I've replaced my religion

And I don't want to live that way again
