I Don't Want to Live That Way Again

I kiss the day, there can be no other answer
Turn back the time and let me in
I look away, as they stare and all their glances
Now i can tell you where i’ve been
All alone inside myself
I guess i never knew which way to go The time has come to know yourself
And i don’t want to live that way again,
Again, again, again.
I’m miles away, as i look into the water
And there’s a tide that pulls me in The missing page where there’ll be the sons and daughters
I live and die it’s hard to take
Safe within, this higher ground
The pleasure and the pain has come and gone
I have been once lost now found
And i don’t want to live that way again
There’s a light in the distance
And a voice that cries freedom
There’s a child in the mirror,
Much too long he’s been grievin'
I have stumbled thru madness
Now i’ve made my decision,
And i don’t want to live that way again
So i pull down the shutters
And i wave my resistance
And i wait for the sirens
That will ring thru my head
I was cast as a leper
Now i’ve replaced my religion
And i don’t want to live that way again
