Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't remember anything
Is this true or just a dream?
Deep down inside, I feel to scream now
There's a terrible silence stoppin' me
[Verse 2]
Now that the war is through with me
Wakin' up, but I can't see
That there ain't much left of me
Nothin' is real
Nothin' is real but the pain now
[Verse 3]
And in this womb it's much too real
And in pumps life that I must feel
But I can't look forward to reveal now
Look to a time when I can live
[Verse 4]
Fed through a tube that's stuck in me
Just like a wartime novelty
Can't live and I cannot die
Cut this life off, cut this life off from me
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Landmine has taken my sight
Took away my speech
Took away my hearing
Left me with a life in Hell
[Verse 6]
Darkness surrounds me
All I hear and all that I see
I can't live and I cannot die
Trapped in myself, trapped in myself
[Verse 7]
Landmine has taken, taken my eyes
Taken my hearing
Taken my sight
Landmine has left me
With a life in Hell
My body my holding cell
[Verse 8]
I cannot die
And now the world is gone
Just one
Just one
Hold my breath as I'm wishin' for death
[Verse 9]
Just one, please
God, wake me
God, help me
God, take me
[Verse 10]
Hold my breath as I'm wishing for death
Please God
Please God, take me
Please God, wake me
[Verse 11]
Thank you
