god only knows

Lyrics

i was waiting for something, i was listening to my breathing, like a man listening to life, i was looking for fire, it could take me or leave me, it could all just burn away, the oxygen law, it reminds me, i'd been surrounded for hours, by the sound of thinking metal, and i knew something was wrong, i can tell you what fear is, it is the smell of burning, and i'd been close once before, i waited a long time, how i survived god only knows, it seemed like forever, how i survived god only knows, i don't like the memory, how i survived god only knows, how i survived god only knows, i remember the feeling, i'll remember forever, how it all just came apart, i don't believe in praying, i don't believe in a god, now i question everything, the dreamer is gone, i'm an old man, i could tell you of horror, i could show you the pieces, but i just want to forget, i'm not sure if i saw it, i'm not sure if i heard it, i just screamed 'i can't get out', 'i can't get out'
