Careful steps, taken cautiously to prevent harm
Watching out for threats posed by things that cannot be undone
Even in my secure chamber it's breathing down my neck
The knowledge of me being powerless
Nothing I do can save me from the day that I stop breathing
I'm afraid to die, but even more to lose someone I love
Inevitable, unpredictable,
All the cautiousness won't help against chance
Bad luck, unforeseen, flip the coin, roll the dice
Draw a card, this is life, lose and you will pay the price
I've been dead before I lived, can't say that I cared
But life is the strongest drug, once you've tasted it's hard to bear
The certainty that you'll stop using,
Infinity versus finiteness, so confusing
Inevitable, unpredictable,
All the cautiousness wont help against chance
My lean ability to protect the few who matter to me
Increases my anxiety
Painful feelings sitting so deep
When I'm done, when I'm gone I won't feel anymore
But everyone who's still there will have to cope with it
And since I can't do anything, afraid of the pain of loss
It's better to go first, despicable egoist
My lean ability to protect the few who matter to me
Increases my anxiety
Painful feelings sitting so deep
Roll the dice, roll again
'Til zero's up, cause zero always wins
Nothing I do can save me from the day that I stop breathing
Bad luck, unforeseen, flip the coin, roll the dice
Draw a card, this is life, lose and you will pay the price
Humble and angry because there is no certainty
Mother, are sure that your children are secure?
Father, do you crave for your children to be save?
Brother would you do anything to protect your sibling?
Sister, would you give everything away
If you knew this way your family would stay alive?
