Four Hundred Lives

Believe when I say I've become a friend
to parts of my life that I've tried to forget
As close as they come, the memories dull
Folding, they crumble around the ends
Love is so vain, time and again
You give and you give
when there's nothing to get
Don't believe all the hype
Were selling our souls
With the pieces they feed on like ravenous wolves

I have lived though 400 lives
Now I'm feeling alright

Alone in the space where sleep can awake
You watch the strange paths your dreams sometimes take
Faces distorted and places unknown
Suddenly seem familiar again
Believe what you want but I can't sit and swallow these pills
They put in our hands
Preaching from high as they look down below
Desperately seeking out all that we know

I have lived though 400 lives
Now I'm feeling alright
Daemons drowned become the divine
and now I'm feeling alright

Behind a lie you'll find a friend
who tells you what's right
but I can't let him lead me this time
I'll go it alone

Why don't you say what you mean and I will discover
Your dreams from beneath the boulders and rubble

I have lived though 400 lives
Now I'm feeling alright
Daemons drowned become the divine
and now I'm feeling alright

I have lived though 400 lives
Now I'm feeling alright
Daemons drowned become the divine
and now I'm feeling alright
