lyrics

Punching

It's risky business walking along on a tight rope,
let's make it interesting by wearing a blindfold.
Summon up the courage to commit to my choices,
failure being imminent when impulses turn boisterous.
The past seems more romantic than it really was,
memories are biased perceptions sprung from angel dust.
Public displays of rejection for all to see and hear,
will cripple the selfless souls who've always been sincere.

If a Life without meaning, is a life without purpose,
Then everything that we will learn, will become worthless.
A homage to all the friendships, that I couldn't keep any longer.
since I've heard that absence, makes the heart grow fonder.
It's time to start again, and move myself away,
a fresh new beginning, to avoid being lead astray.
'cos i've quit replaying, the conversations that we once had,
that were stuck and looping, in my head for hours on end.

Sometimes old ghosts comeback, to remind us of what we have today.
Sometimes old ghosts comeback, to try to stop us from making the same mistakes again.
Sometimes old ghosts forget, we're already haunted by the living.
Sometimes old ghosts forget, they're just figments of our imagination.

Another place, another time,
another life and I know I'd be fine.
But right now, just in this moment,
I'm losing my will, to persevere and survive.
I'm breaking up, with the person,
that i used to be. (oh the irony)
Wasted my time, and now I'm being punished,
for eternity. (Just another cliche)

Oh the irony.
Just another cliche.
