Battles Lyrics by In Flames

Battles

2016

[Verse 1]
Pain, you're not my friend, and I despise you
Friend, you are my pain, and I adore you

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away

[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by

[Verse 2]
Insane to be caged, when you're to blame
Blame, break free from insanity to praise you

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away

[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by

[Pre-Chorus]
What are you waiting for? I'm here
Let's consume it all before they take it all away

[Chorus]
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Before they take it all away
I hear them from the other side
As I sit and let the day go by
Trying to see if the world is still alive
Let the day go by
