Metallica - Hi Guy (That Was Just Your Life) Lyrics

Like a siren in my head and there is
No emergency
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver's seat.
Like a face
That learns to speak
When all it knew was how to bite.

Like a hurt that keeps me focused
Though I think I've gone astray.
Like a low grade nightmare that
I must awaken from each day.
Like a dream
A beautiful dream
Not worthy of, so I deny
Yeah.

You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place.
You never open them, so it passed you by.
You close your eyes, so you may never fall from grace.
You open just in time to say goodbye, oh.

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Struggling along.
Balancing in right and wrong.
Why is this so hard?
Always pull the joker card.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think.
Like a [?] I'm being covered till
It's time to drink.
Like a puzzle
With missing pieces
And the box is thrown away.

Like a release from a prison
That you didn't know you're in.
Like a fight to live the past I prayed
To leave
From way back then.
Like a general
Without a mission
Until the war will start again

You close your eyes and try to wish it all into place.
You never open them, so it passed you by.
You close your eyes, so you may never fall from grace.
You open just in time to say goodbye, oh.

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Struggling along.
Balancing in right and wrong.
Why is this so hard?
Always pull the joker card.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Yeah
Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught.
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught.
Like a touch from heaven on this breeze
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Oh, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Struggling along.
Balancing in right and wrong.
Why is this so hard?
Always pull the joker card.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.
