ORDEAL BY FIRE
(written 1992/recorded 2007)
all the time i thought
i lived my life without a mask
and that
reflecting on the sense
must be an egghead's task
and so i bragged
about my strength and masculinity
and i
never realized
you're the reverse of me
and all i feel
is just the passing time
without a chance to recombine
and all i see
is just your face within my dream
but there is something in between
sometimes i doubt myself
and i'm feeling oh so blank
(ordeal by fire)
must be a weakness
in the sea in which i sank
(ordeal by fire)
but i don't give a damn
whenever i can't comprehend
ordeal by fire
ordeal by fire
i'm gonna lose the fight
against you
now i'm infirm of purpose
or have i always been
and ever
played just a wicked man
to now run out of steam
i shouldn't show despair
to make no fool out of myself
but i
start growing lonely
like a madman in a condemned cell
and all i feel
are thousand devils in my head
spinning 'round and driving me mad
and all i see
are just your keys thrown on the floor
when i hear you walking out that door
sometimes i doubt myself
and i'm feeling oh so blank
(ordeal by fire)
must be a weakness
in the sea in which i sank
(ordeal by fire)
but i don't give a damn
whenever i can't comprehend
ordeal by fire
ordeal by fire
i'm gonna lose the fight
against you
but deep down in the marrow
aren't we all the same
still drowning in the morass and
continuing to play the game
i know i not abnormal
i know i'm no exception
i'm just another proof of
the human imperfection
ordeal by fire
ordeal by fire
i'm gonna lose the fight
lose the fight
against you
ordeal by fire
ordeal by fire
i'm gonna lose the fight
lose the fight
against you
against you
against you
sometimes i doubt myself
and i'm feeling oh so blank
must be a weakness
in the sea in which i sank
but i don't give a damn
whenever i can't comprehend
ordeal by fire
ordeal by fire
i'm gonna lose the fight
