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
