------------------------------------

you can live your life by lyrics,

you can always pass the blame,

there is always just another

waiting near to share your shame;

you can live your life by lyrics

and you can cower in the night,

the sweet embrace of nothingness

can certainly feel right;

you can live you life by lyrics,

you can live it in a haze,

but you're only living half a life,

counting off the days.
