Lyrics[]
And I can move on from here
How simple: life goes on
Humble – that’s how I feel
“Sparking hot flames, holding on.”
Younger days run so clear
Through my mind, replaying my crime
Tearing me up, spreading fear
Obsession in my own time
What life’s taken away, I’m not missing
Will I sit back and sigh?
A thunder of thoughts, I’m dismissing
Too scared to even try…
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
My intention is strong and real
Only power steels my will
The illusion of safety’s surreal
Don’t let it go for the kill!
What life’s taken away, I’m not missing
Will I sit back and sigh?
A thunder of thoughts, I’m dismissing
Too scared to even try…
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
I don’t want to take on the pain
So, I go seek inner signs or a calling
The more freedom I gain
The less real life I'm recalling.
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
And in time I’ve always known
I’m never in the safety zone
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
I took the fight, but was I right?
They were sending me to war…
