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
