Robert Trujillo - That Was Just Your Life lyrics

[Produced by Rick Rubin] [Verse 1] Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat Like a face that learned to speak, when all it knew was how to fight Like a misery that keeps me focused though I've gone astray Like an endless nightmare I must awaken from each day Like conviction, a premonition not worthy of, so I deny [Pre-Chorus] I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it pa**ing me by I open just in time to say goodbye [Chorus] Almost like your life, almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long, realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow, never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight, and there it went almost like your life [Verse 2] Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think Like a raging river, drowning when I only need a drink Like a poison that I swallow, but I want the world to die Like a release from a prison that I didn't know I was in Like a fight to live the past I prayed to leave from way back when Like a general without a mission until the wars start again [Pre-Chorus] I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it pa**ing me by I open just in time to say goodbye [Chorus] Almost like your life, almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long, realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow, never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight, and there it went almost like your life [Bridge] Like a touch from hell to feel how hot That it can get if you get caught Like a strike from heaven that turns that key That brings you straight down to your knees Like a touch from hell to feel how hot That it can get if I get caught Like a strike from heaven to reprieve That brings you straight down to your knees [Chorus] Almost like your life, almost like your endless fight Curse the day is long, realize you don't belong Disconnect somehow, never stop the bleeding now Almost like your fight, and there it went almost like your life [Outro] That was just your life
