Delight And Angers
In Flames · A Sense Of Purpose [2008]
Sometimes it feels like a mistake
Sometimes it's a winner's parade
Delight and angers
I guess that's the way it's supposed to be
Please heal me, I can't sleep
Thought I was unbreakable
But this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Liar set me free
I feel the fear takes hold
Afraid this hell I create is my own
Calm my franticness
I can't take it anymore
This used to be my own world
But now I've lost control
Please heal me, Why can't I sleep
Thought I was unbreakable
But this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Liar set me free
Chasing left overs
Under the fading sun
Searching for shelter
I feel my time has come
Please heal me, Why can't I sleep
Thought I was unbreakable
But this is killing me
Call me everything
Make me feel unbreakable
Liar set me free
