Auctioned Lyrics by Dark Tranquillity

Projector

1999

[Verse 1]
Outsmart the fever
And take us farther from
The killing life in capsules
A life that can't belong
If I wake up dead to the world
With the helm at my command
The reaching out of this
Oh, faced tomorrow
In the eleventh hour
Beckoned closer
Now as nightfall sends its grace
Oh, cue to enter
The insatiable ideal, slam it shut
But the portal pounding lingers
What it is. Is time undone?
I cannot falter in the security of labor
Was I supposed to believe?

[Chorus]
Where did I sign?
Oh did I miss
Oh, the auction?
Oh where my life
Where did I sign?
Did I miss the auction?

[Verse 2]
Went the half mile
Wondered when the resolution would come
Life became too solid
Diluted by the essence of denial
Caught in fire's eye
Oh the self and the filter that is I
My lip was venom
Words formed in my mouth
And hid beneath the tongue
Never to be, never to be seen

[Chorus]
Where did I sign?
Oh did I miss
Oh the auction
Oh where my life..
Where did I sign?
Did I miss, the auction?

[Pre-Chorus]
Was I supposed to believe?

[Chorus]
Where did I sign?
Oh did I miss
Oh the auction
Oh where my life..
Where did I sign?
Did I miss, the auction?

Oh where my life!
Where did I sign?
Oh did I miss, the auction?
Where my life
Where did I sign
Did I miss the auction, where my life went under the club?
