Lost In Life
All the moments of my past
Come crashing in
My eyes swim with visions
Going back to where I've been
Real life stops and horrors
Take over my dreams
Awakened from my sleep
As I hear the vivid screams
The bullets ricocheting
The snipers all around
Seeking out my brothers
As we crawl across the ground
Knowing most won't make it
Should we all be found
The battle continues
With another round
I'm lost in life I'm helpless
'Till it lets me go
I can't escape the nightmare
That I fought so long ago
The memories still haunt me
Like it was yesterday
My life keeps going forwards
But in my mind it stays
The vision I keep seeing
Is embedded in my mind
No way to fast forward
Always in rewind
I'm lost in life I'm helpless
'Till it lets me go
I can't escape the nightmare
That i fought so long ago
As the night time comes to pass
It haunts me in my dreams
I see the things that fuel
All my torment and my screams
It's all so real I kick and fight
And I feel the pain
My mind won't listen or let go
I'll never be the same
I'm lost in life I'm helpless
'Till it lets me go
I can't escape the nightmare
That i fought so long ago
The memories still haunt me
Like it was yesterday
My life keeps going forwards
But in my mind it stays
