Take This Life - In Flames

It’s not so much the pain

It’s more the actual knife

Pretending the picture is perfect

I cut myself to sleep

I close my eyes for a second

And curse my fragile soul

I scream to hide that I’m lonely

The echo calls my name

If I ever, If I never

Make me understand the thought whatever

Make me see.

Make me be

Make me understand you’re there for me

Take this life, I’m right here

Stay awhile and breathe me in

Take this life, I’m right here

Stay awhile and breathe me in

The rain drops just beg to hit me

What now?

Hasn’t rained for days

No time to play hide-and-seek

I call on you to take me on

Break me down to pieces

Put me back, do it right this time

Struggling to fill this empty shell

Burn all my efforts

In the end it means nothing

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart

These thoughts, will keep me free and
