Jaded (Liars Edge)
This is the day when I get it together
Then I give it away
This is the nightmare - Here I go
Now I’m back on my own
Another victim of the child inside today
Another extra in a real-time passion-play
Another night to demonise
My own mind de-sanitises
And all the things that I’ve never done
Left me a man with a loaded gun
And every day is a battlefield
I go to war with my own mind - It’s hell inside
But it’s just another day of my life
Just another twist of the knife
Only 24 hours till it ends
And then I’ll start it all over again
Just another room with no view
Its just another turn of the screw
Just another meaningless haze
But I guess it’s just one of those days
Those were the nights
When we looked at the world
And we put it to rights
That was a daydream
And here I am now
Sleepwalking through life -
I’m catatonic on parade
Its just a side-show stall charade
Another low on the high trapeze
I’m in the ring and I’m on my knees now
Tie me up and I might conform
Whip me down and I might perform
Cos every day is a circus show
It’s up and down and I’m low - I’m tired
I’m high - I’m wired
But it's just another day of my life
It's just another twist of the knife
24 hours till it ends
And then I’ll start it all over again
It's just another room with no view
It's just another turn of the screw
Just another meaningless haze
But I guess it’s just one of those days
Another night to demonise
My own mind de-sanitises
And all the things that I’ve never done
Left me a man with a loaded gun
And every day is a battlefield
I go to war with my own mind -
It’s hell inside my head
It’s just another day of my life
It's just another twist of the knife
24 hours till it ends
And then I’ll start it all over again
It's just another room with no view
Its just another turn of the screw
Just another meaningless haze
But I guess it’s just one of those days
It's just another day of this life
It's just another twist of the knife
Another 24 hours till it ends
And then I’ll start it all over again
It's just another room with no view
It's just another turn of the screw
It's just another meaningless haze
But I guess it’s just one of those
I guess it’s just one of those
I guess it’s just one of those
I guess it’s just one of those days
