Coerced Coexistence

In Flames · Colony [Bonus Tracks] [1999]

I'll take you on a ride

As a part-owner to my pain

Our ideals they collide

Coerced coexistence



I fought the world today - postpone my birth again

We stumble on and one - but bound to die alone



Pain - I'm selling my soul today

Pain - I need some sympathy



This infiltrates my brain

"in the sunshine the sun is mine"

Pitiless wanderer

Close your eyes and bow your head

Grotesque thoughts in a line

threw my wings onto the blazing sun

Smile stretched on old trees

Eternal Grining jester masque



Pain - I'm selling my soul today

Pain - I need some sympathy



Don't hurt a fly they all sing

We're just ants in a great big play
