That Was Just Your Life Lyrics | Deep Purple

Like a siren in my head that always threatens to repeat
Like a blind man that is strapped into the speeding driver’s seat.
Like a face
That learns to speak
When all it knew was how to bite.

Like a misery that keeps me focused
Though i’ve gone astray.
Like an endless nightmare that
I must awaken from each day.
Like conviction
A premonition
Not worthy of, so I deny… …I deny.

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place.
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes, I hide and feel it passing me by.
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don’t belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a wound that keeps on bleeding to remind me not to think.
Like a raging river drowning when I only need a drink.
Like a poison
That I swallow
But I want the world to die.

Like a release from prison
That I didn’t know I was in.
Like a fight to live the past I prayed
To leave From way back then.
Like a general
Without a mission
Until the war will start again… …start again.

I blind my eyes and try to force it all into place.
I stitch them up, see not my fall from grace.
I blind my eyes,
I hide and feel it passing me by.
I open just in time to say goodbye.

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don’t belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if you get caught.
Like a strike from heaven turns that key
And brings you straight down to your knees.

Like a touch from hell to feel how hot
That it can get if I get caught.
Like a strike from heaven to reprieve
That brings you straight down to your knees.

Almost like your life.
Almost like your endless fight.
Curse the day is long.
Realize you don’t belong.
Disconnect somehow
Never stop the bleeding now.
Almost like your fight.
And there it went,
Almost like your life.
That was just your life.
