Stemm - Salvation lyrics

BLOWN OUT GAUGE…I MAY HAVE PUSHED THINGS TOO FAR WITH HANDS LEFT UNCLEAN, THIS BROKEN MACHINE HAS LEFT ME FAR FROM HOME! IS EVERY BREATH I TAKE, JUST A MINUTE TOO LATE? THE THOUGHTS INSIDE ME OVERLOADING…IS LIFE REALLY THIS HARD? THE FACT I'M NOT DEAD, HANGING ON BY A THREAD IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH LEFT INSIDE ME… [Chorus:] NOW….I AM….ALIVE! KICKING AND SCREAMING! I KNOW I'LL SUFFER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE WHO KNEW YOU'D BE A HAND IN THE TIES THAT BIND? A LIFE YOU MADE SO fu*kING COMPLICATED A BEATEN PATH AND NOW YOU QUESTION ME WHY? MY SALVATION, IS WHAT YOU DENY. *** COLD EMBRACE…THIS TIME YOU PUSHED ME TOO FAR YOUR SMILE DECIEVES AS YOU LIE THROUGH YOUR TEETH AND LEFT MY HEART FOR BROKE! NOW I ERASE YOUR NAME, FROM A LIFE YOU CLAIM, A TEMPORARY PATH YOU'VE CHOSEN! IS LIFE REALLY THIS HARD? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN? WAS THE RIDE WORTH THE SIN? YOU CAN LAY ON YOUR CROSS AS I DRIVE THE SPIKES IN… [Chorus] BLEED FOR ME…ALL OF THE TIMES I HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WOULD I DO IT ALL AGAIN? BE AFRAID…YOU LOOK SO CALM WHEN YOU SEE ME COMING DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHO I AM? I'M BURNING INSIDE! SAVE MY SOUL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! YOU COULDN'T TAKE THIS FROM ME ALIVE, BUT BURNING INSIDE…SAVE MY SOUL FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE MY SALVATION…IS LIFE REALLY THIS HARD?
