This Is Your Life

[Verse 1]

It's another November evening

As you remember your way home

You mete out your aggressions

On what's left of your blackened soul

You've come to this conclusion

As you're dragged from another bloody fight

You've reached the age where you've decided

That you've lived out your whole life

[Pre-Chorus]

Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls

You're wasting time, wasting time as life's shadow grows so tall

It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win

And now you bow your head in shame for a sin no one forgives

[Chorus]

Fight, fight, you'll never win (This is our life)

Tonight I'll start again (This is our time)

Fight, fight, you'll never win (This is our life)

How will I make amends? (This is our time)

This is our life, this is our time

This is my life, don't waste my time

[Verse 2]

Your wife can't understand you

And you've alienated your oldest friends

Breaking back and fingers to the bone

Burning candles at both ends

You're tired of this petty life you lead

A series of dull events

A two-bit, half-assed effigy

Of someone else's dread

[Pre-Chorus]

Another busted knuckle, taken down by a kick to the balls

You're wasting time, wasting time as the shadows grow so tall

It's another busted knuckle, it's a fight you'll never win

And now you bow your head in shame for a sin no one forgives

[Chorus]

Fight, fight, you'll never win (This is our life)

Tonight I'll start again (This is our time)

Fight, fight, you'll never win (This is our life)

How will I make amends? (This is our time)

This is our life, this is our time

This is my life, don't waste my time

[Outro]

This is our life

This is our time

This is my life

This is my time
