"Johnny Got His Gun"

[Manzcar]

Metallica - One Lyrics


I can't remember anything,
Can't tell if this is true or dream,
Deep down inside I feel to scream,
This terrible silence stops it there

Now that the war is through with me,
I'm waking up, I cannot see,
That there's not much left of me,
Nothing is real but pain now

Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh please God, wake me

Back in the womb it's much too real,
In pumps life that I must feel,
But can't look forward to reveal,
Look to the time when I'll live

Fed through the tube that sticks in me,
Just like a wartime novelty,
Tied to machines that make me be,
Cut this life off from me

Hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh please God, wake me

Now the world is gone I'm just one,
Oh God, help me hold my breath as I wish for death,
Oh please God, help me

Darkness, imprisoning me,
All that I see,
Absolute horror,
I cannot live,
I cannot die,
Trapped in myself,
Body my holding cell

Landmine, Has taken my sight,
Taken my speech,
Taken my hearing,
Taken my arms,
Taken my legs,
Taken my soul,
Left me with life in hell
