Megadeth - 13 Lyrics

Thirteen times I went to the well
To draw my thoughts, I'll gather and tell
Like bricks that I've laid to build my life
Those that crumbled only caused me strife

My thoughts became words, cast into the sea
But they returned, always haunting me
Like a severed arm washed up on the shore
I just don't think I can give anymore

Because I've lived
How many times do I have to die?
Because I've lived
How many lives do I have to die?

Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
Oh, after everything you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see that devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive

At thirteen I started down this path
Fueled with anger, music was my wrath
Years of clawing at scars that never healed
Drowning my mind, the thoughts are too real

Because I've lived
How many times do I have to die?
Because I've lived
How many lives do I have to die?

Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
Oh, after everything you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see that devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive

I can't get out, I can't jump out
Too much to face, I can't erase

Because I've lived
How many times do I have to die?
Because I've lived
How many lives do I have to die?

Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
Oh, after everything you still want me to bleed
Thirteen ways to see that devil in my eyes
Because I stood here thirteen times and I'm still alive
And I'm still alive

I can't get out
(I can't get out)
I can't jump out
(I can't jump out)

Too much to face
(Too much to face)
I can't erase
(I can't erase)
Thirteen times and it's been lucky for me
