lyrics

I'm waking again wondering who to blame
(Gods or men, we all die in vain)
I'm sad and blue, will I make it through?
You say it's better than being shot in the head
Well sometimes I cry for being alive

It's a new life
It's a new start
So let me take this
Second chance to find
Where I belong

It's a new day
It's a new fight
I focus on the best
Of what's left in
The ashes and dust

Good times, bad times, light and dark
It's a circle, it comes and goes

Day after day, the story's the same
How does my life still make any sense?
How could I be strong as you think that I am
If I don't even know who I was in first place?

It's a new life
It's a new start
So Let me take this
Second chance to find
Where I belong

It's a new day
It's a new fight
I focus on the best
Of what's left in
The ashes and dust

Good times, bad times, light and dark
It's a circle, it comes and goes

Right or wrong, true or false
Who can tell the meaning of it all?
It's just a matter of what
We can do to stay alive

I'm looking at the guy who stares back at me in the mirror
It feels like somebody else is living the life I'm supposed to live
I'm watching me watching over me
Could someone bring back
The one I use to be ?
Grab my hand close your eyes
The world is burning down
Let's trash our clothes
To dive in the river
We'll go with the flow
Til we cannot be found

Right or wrong, true or false
(Truth or lies)
Who can tell the meaning of it all?
