I kiss the day, there can be no other answer
Turn back the time and let me in
I look away as they stare and all their glances
Now I can tell you where I've been

All alone inside myself
I guess I never knew which way to go
The time [bad word] to know yourself
And I don't want to live that way again
Again, again, again

I'm miles away as I look into the water
And there's a tide that pulls me in
The missing page where there'll be
The sons and daughters
I live and die it's hard to take

Safe within this higher ground
The pleasure and the pain [bad word] and gone
I have been once lost now found
I don't want to live
I don't want to live

There's a light in the distance
And a voice that cries freedom
There's a child in the mirror
Much too long he's been grievin'

I have stumbled [bad word] #39; madness
Now I've made my decision
And I don't want to live that way again

There's a light in the distance
And a voice that cries freedom
There's a child in the mirror
Much too long he's been grievin'

I have stumbled [bad word] #39; madness
Now I've made my decision
And I don't want to live that way again

So I, I pull down the shutters
And I, I wave my resistance
And I wait for the sirens
That will ring [bad word] #39; my head

I was cast as a leper
Now I've replaced my religion
And I don't want to live that way again
And I, I don't want to live that way again

I really don't want to live
I have replaced my religion
 [bad word] 
And I don't want to live
And I don't want to live that way again
