I Used to Live Lyrics

Album: Blackout

I used to live

Since the day I was born you hunted me

You're constantly present I have a filling you're my shadow

I'm afraid by your intent gaze its depth is inexpressible

The warmth of your breath makes my blood run cold

I can't lay claim to eternal life

But wait just for one second that my life runs out

No I don't want to meet my rest in the hollow of your arms

After dark so great is my apprehension that I can't fall asleep

Because in my dreams I can't hide and escape your omnipotence

You torture me until my surrender

Another day, another way

But your steps resound in my head

I will ablaze all the pain and sorrow I endure each day

But my pride is stronger than your hatred

You badger my conscience with violence and atrocity

I put out the eyes and eardrums of my soul to stop suffering

I feel spied on by your never ending glance

Like a leech which clings to your skin

And sucks your blood to the last drop

An appalling death struggle with no way out and my soul will be faded

I don’t want to turn round

I don’t want to look at death in the eyes

Like a woman who would kiss you but her kiss would not be hot but frozen

This shudder I feel along my spinal column isn’t the wind but you
