Half Life Song

It's just genetic, it's written in your DNA It's symptomatic, at least that's what the doctors say It's in your nature finding darkness in the brightest day But here we are 'Cause you were made from stars to live a life you'd never love So if this is the last night and you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow You know I said it, I'd never let you fade away It's energetic, the bond was never meant to break You were made from scars to live a life you'd rise above So if this is the last night and you're feeling hollow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't anywhere that I wouldn't follow I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow So if this is the last–, time I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow There isn't any–, where I'm chasing your last light to where ever I go Oh, our elements change into chemical traces Reactions that they'll never know If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh-oh-oh If this is the last time that we'll ever borrow (oh-oh-oh) I'll give you my half life so you'll see tomorrow

I fight the urge to search my name There's a better me, I swear But curiosity- I see, I let my ego get the best of me In the age of excess, less may be best for me God, it makes me sad We're the last to know The world is changin' and upgradin' Faster than we can control Sick of livin' in the old days? Mind burdened by the old ways? Keep tryin' to forget about it? Watch a video, don't fret about it (no) You don't need it, why you want it? (Want it) I don't see you movin' on, kid (on, kid) I don't see you movin' on, kid, no, I don't see you movin' on Now I see, I let these people dig their hooks in me And I consider myself a fool Plugged in, half-life God, you're a fool You think these people really care for you? You really think they will be there for you? Plugged in, that's a half-life I know you I love you I want you I need you You complete me (you complete me), I adore you (I adore you) I adore you (I adore you), I adore you (I adore you) I adore you I adore you

We came up so carelessly Boys were falling at your feet Proud to have you next to me But I was hanging desperately Twisted emotions, down and low Every door closing we're forever to go And I can often lose control I push it down so it doesn't show But I will beg for it, you won't for me Do you know why I stumble? While I'm way down on my knees I've been racing through a half life And it's taking its toll on me Do you know I suffer In this coldhearted company Guess I'll see you in a half life When it's taken over me I know I'm cold and chemical It's the lie I can't control So dark and low So dark and low I know you hate how I react The kind of pain that makes you laugh It's coming fast It's coming But I won't wait for it The vote for me Do you know why I stumble? Why I'm way down on my knees I've been racing through a half life And it's taking its toll on me Do you know I suffer In this coldhearted company Guess, I'll see you in a half life When it's taken over me Taken over me It's taken over me It's taken over me Now you know I know stumble Why I'm way down on my knees I've been wasting through a half life And it's taking its toll on me Now you know why I suffer In this coldhearted company Guess I'll see you in a half life When it's taken over me Me Me Me

Half life wastes before it goes It's funny how your bee sting touch never leaves me whole It's not enough to stay here, almost trying You keep your last laugh, watch this dying It's just your half-time vertigo And if you want an answer, I don't know If you had completed me Don't think I'd be pleased with you Don't think I'd compete with you With half of me to take Half life, nothing I'd call home It's lucky how these phantom limb bee stings never show It's not enough to leave this falling kindly You burn my star down twice as brightly It's just your half light undertow But if you need forgiveness, I don't know If you had completed me Don't think I'd be pleased with you Don't think I'd compete with you With half of me to take Half light breaks with nothing wrong Just a corner of my bed, where you don't belong It's kind of you to notice no-one's dying You had your last laugh, almost crying It's just your half life, long to know And if you need a reason, so it goes If you had completed me Don't think I'd be pleased with you Don't think I'd compete with you With half of me to take

I see your lips are the staircase to your soul Now you're fighting your feelings And fearing the shame that you sown All the times that I blindly followed you Can't believe that I never saw the truth I don't know what to do You locked your arms around my mouth I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue I scream and shout, tear my lungs out I don't know what to do, I can't get over you They tell you what you want to hear To feed the attention you hold so dear Tread lightly across these lines Playing again and again in my mind There's a painful progress building you up stone by stone There's a certain satisfaction I watching you fall from your throne So pardon me, avoid the possibility Of unraveling the patchwork in the way that you think Why can't I see the truth? I don't know what to do You locked your arms around my mouth I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue I scream and shout, tear my lungs out I don't know what to do, I can't get over you I'll sleep peacefully Knowing I pierced your skin Despite all your walls I still found my way in I'm not another fall out, boy did we try I may be a notch in your bedpost But your life is a lie Why can't I see the truth? I don't know what to do You locked your arms around my mouth I don't know what to do, I think I'm turning blue I scream and shout, tear my lungs out I don't know what to do, I can't get over you Oh no, I don't know what to do And I, I can't get over you I'll tell you what you need to hear So close your lips and listen, dear I think it's time that I said goodbye Play it again and again in your mind

I think I'm going to change my name to lucky, and take a vacation. My life is a full house. Aces and kings. Kiss, kiss, kiss. Dance, dance, dance. I guess I'm living a charmed life. I could stuff my pockets full of ten dollar bills. But then what would I do with all these twenties? Lets go to the beach and go swimming. I guess I'm living a charmed life.

I knew that I'd get like this again That's why I try to keep at bay Be 100% when I'm with you and then The perfect heart's length away The stickler is you've played not one beat wrong You never promised me anything Even sat me down Warned me just how they fall I knew the odds were I'd never win Yet here I am It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life My self-worth measured in text back tempo It's been two days and 8 minutes too slow Well there may well be others but I still like to pretend That I'm the one you really want to grow old with You've got a schedule to stick to You've got a world to keep sweet You're so much to everyone all the time Will you ever slow down? Will I ever come first? The universe contracts to sigh It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life Hold Me Hold Me Hold Me Darling Please You know you'll never be lonely No, you'll always be loved And maybe you never need more than that But for the surplus that loves What's to become of us? Does it even register on your conscience? Long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd Air compressed tight to explode I'm clenching my ticket to the only way out As you disappear in a puff of smoke It's a half life With you as my quarterback A daft life
