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?
