Crucifix - Dance With Life Lyrics

I've never seen life as nothing but a ball
And chain i'm stuck up in my silence
Sleeping in the pouring rain
I've never seen life as nothing
But a stage for pain
Cuz once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to
Black once they dance with life

The mind is such a battlefield
Sometimes I wonder if it's even real how
Could anybody suffer like this? Inside I've
Been dead for so long, broken
Down, praying to keep me holding on but
Knowing it'll never change but I
Can't even cry anymore when the fire
Is blowing around my eyes
And I learn how to fly in the moment the pain
Is mowing through my mind like
I've never seen life

I've never seen life as nothing but a ball
And chain i'm stuck up in my silence
Sleeping in the pouring rain
I've never seen life as nothing
But a stage for pain
Cuz once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to
Black once they dance with life

I done been through hell on the
Back of a child's eye
And I done seen enough bloodshed to
Last a lifetime call me
Crazy but there's some
Things in life I'd die to not remember
The past is no pretender it's
Colder than the winter
And lingers like December cuz
Who would cry if
I died tonight? Ain't nobody crying
Tonight it's just me
Against the world as I dance with life

I've never seen life as nothing but a ball
And chain i'm stuck up in my silence
Sleeping in the pouring rain
I've never seen life as nothing
But a stage for pain
Cuz once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to
Black once they dance with life

Looking back on life this calloused
Heart just fades to black
And I can't but wonder how I got
This far my mind intact cuz every breath I
Breathe is life just falling
Through the cracks
I've been given so many memories that I
Wish I could give back but giving
Back is more than pretending
You're gonna right
Your wrongs pour your heart out on paper
Write it down in a couple
Songs then go right back
To steady chasing down this life of
Sin oK, I admit it
I deserve this hell I'm in i
Made my bed and now I'm sleeping in the
Pouring rain the wages of sin is
Death and death is the bride of pain
And pain's the reason I hate breathing
Screaming "Jesus Christ!" But it's
This life that's got
Me wishing I had never seen life

I've never seen life as nothing but a ball
And chain i'm stuck up in my silence
Sleeping in the pouring rain
I've never seen life as nothing
But a stage for pain
Cuz once you give and life never gives back
Even the hardest of men's hearts fade to
Black once they dance with life
