Still Life
40 Below Summer · Invitation To The Dance
And break me here through the pavement
And I can trust in the silence
And I'll adjust to the violence
Inside
I can't deny
I've burned
Alive in pain - But without you
I'll go insane reaching out to
I'm almost gone - But believe me
I feel so wrong
I can't believe what you've done to me
(Would you cut me - If you love me?)
I can't believe this was meant for me
(Don't you touch me - Don't you push me)
I can't believe what you've done to me
(Would you cut me? – Cut me now)
Life! (Life)
It passed away (Wrong)
Another chance at this life but it passed away (I'm so alone)
Life! (Life)
It passed away (Wrong)
Another chance at this life but it passed away (I'm so alone)
Life! (Life)
It passed away (Wrong)
Another chance at this life but it passed away (I'm so alone)
Life! (Life)
It passed away (Wrong)

(Don't you touch me - Don't you push me)
I can't believe what you've done to me
(Would you cut me? – Cut me now)
