It's not so much the pain
It's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect,
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second
And meet a fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely,
The echo calls my name

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

The water drops
Just beg to hit me
Why now? Haven't rained for days
No time to play hide and seek
I call upon you to take me on
Break me down to pieces
Put me back,
Do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty stream
Burn my efforts in the end it means NOTHING

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling

These thoughts burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts will keep me feeling

If I ever... if I never...
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see... make me be...
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in

Take this life
I'm right here
Stay a while and breathe me in
Come Clarity

I don't care for it. It basically just sounds like a bunch of pounding, and nothing really musically.

Very fast opener. Chorus is great. The "bunch of pounding" comment is fucked up. Sounds like music to me asshole.

I agree with Cratic. The intro is annoying as hell. And further more, of all the bands that have made a radical change from old school to new school, In Flames is the worse. They used to be brilliant melodic top notch swedish thrash group. Now they're borderline scremo.

A bunch of pounding? People who call In Flames that are obviously into the Reroute To Remain/Soundtrack To Your Escape era. If you listened to The Jester Race CD, Take This Life sounds alot like most of the songs on it, without the solos. Take Graveland and Dead Eternity for example. And I wouldn't call them Screamo. Anders is getting old. And I HATE the drum mix since Reroute to Remain... and I can't believe they're still using it now.
