9 Years
W.M.T.I.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think i'm lost in space and time
My head is spinning my heart is blind
Nightmares or dreams are a tale of life
Giving you the reasons once they were mine
Giving you the reasons once they were mine

Walking away
Feeling the pain it's not my life
Though feels the same
Rise up or fall remains to be seen
Maybe it's us
Who have to believe
I'm walking away

My life is mad my dreams are dead
I know it's a trap lying under my bed
Am i forsaken for my thoughts
Or have I fought for the wrong cause
Or have I fought for the wrong cause

Walking away
Feeling the pain it's not my life
Though feels the same
Rise up or fall remains to be seen
Maybe it's us




Who have to believe
I'm walking away
