It’s been long night
It’s been a goddamn grind
It’s been a hard fight
Inside my lonely mind
And when the shift ends
I’m driving half-dead home
Cracks in the pavement
Cracks in my heart of stone
And now I’ll be coming back again
To play this game I’ll never win
Promised paradise
More than waitin’ ‘round to die
Friends ask, “How you been?”
I say, “You know how it is
Waiting for this world to end”
Well, it’s just another day
In hell without the flames
Rat inside a cage
Holding back the rage
Hell without the flames
She left on Monday
She didn’t slam the door
I promised one day
But it was always one day more
And now I’m coming back again
Play this game I’ll never win
Promised paradise
More than waitin’ round to die
Friends ask, “How you been?”
I say, “You know how it is
Waiting for this world to end”
Well, it’s just another day
In hell without the flames
Rat inside a cage
Holding back the rage
Hell without the flames
It’s just another night
Me without my mind
Another hill to climb
Another axe to grind
Hell without the flames
