[Verse 1] Stay cold, free your mind and the time will follow Grow old, running down, it's all been borrowed Half a life through and what can you remember? Been high, memory serves little more than sometimes Can't cry for the wasted nightlife Half a life through and what can you remember? [Pre-Chorus] So afraid of missing the way out You build your own chains to bind yourself Be ashamed the way it turned out With no one to blame but your own damn self [Chorus] Half a life, half a life is better Half a life is worse Half a life was never, half a life Is your curse [Verse 2] Burn out, fade away, then it's all for nothing Never was on time's account Half a life through and what can you remember? Hey man, look alive, you've been dead for years now
No more delusions of your grandeur Half a life through and what can you remember? [Pre-Chorus] So afraid of missing the way out You build your own chains to bind yourself Be ashamed the way it turned out With no one to blame but your own damn self [Chorus] Half a life, half a life is better Half a life is worse Half a life was never, half a life Is your curse [Pre-Chorus] So afraid of missing the way out You build your own chains to bind yourself Be ashamed the way it turned out With no one to blame but your own damn self [Chorus] Half a life, half a life is better Half a life is worse Half a life was never, half a life Is your curse Half a life, half a life is better Half a life is worse Half a life was never, half a life Is your curse
