Imitation Life 2006 Music by Jeff Cole & E. Joseph Robinson
Words by Jeff Cole
I PEN TODAY THE WORDS OF SURE DEMISE
THE INK IS FLOWING DOWN FROM OUT BEHIND THESE EYES.

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE AND THOSE WHO NEVER WILL
COMES A STORY ABOUT A BOY AND THE DREAM THEY TRY TO KILL.

SAVINGTHE LONG LOST MAIDEN OF MY SOUL.
YOUR FLATTERY OF LIMITATION
HAS LEFT ME WITH THIS IMITATION LIFE.

IM TIRED OF THINKING ALL ALONE
I WANT SOMETHING TO CALL MY OWN
THE MORNING NEWS I TRY TO READ
CAN BARLEY GET MY HEART TO BLEED
THIS GAPING WOUND WITHIN MY LIFE
DESIRES LIKE A WIELDED KNIFE

SAVINGTHE LONG LOST MAIDEN OF MY SOUL.
YOUR FLATTERY OF LIMITATION
HAS LEFT ME WITH THIS IMITATION LIFE.
THE LONG LOST MAIDEN OF MY SOUL
AND YOU CAN HAVE YOUR GREEN SALVATION
THATS LEFT ME WITH THIS IMITATION LIFE.

IM TIRED OF THINKING ALL ALONE
I WANT SOMETHING TO CALL MY OWN
THE MORNING NEWS I TRY TO READ
CAN BARLEY GET MY HEART TO BLEED
THIS GAPING WOUND WITHIN MY LIFE
DESIRES LIKE A WIELDED KNIFE
TO KEEP THE FOCUS TELL ME HOW
I THOUGHT THE DREAM WOULD HAVE COME
TRUE, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ONES WHO KNOW TO THOSE ABOUT ITS JUST A SHOW
AND LOOKING BACK I KNOW I SHOULD
HAVE BEGGED YOU AND GOT ON YOUR HOOD
AND AS YOUR CAR THEN DROVE AWAY
I LONGED AND HOPED FOR BETTER DAYS
I HAD SUCH FIRE AND THEN KNEW HOW BUT THOUGHT THE DREAM WOULD HAVE COME TRUE BY NOW.

JUST TRY TO SEND A POSTCARD OR A LETTER
FROM ANYWHERE NEAR THE EDGE
AND THEYLL BE SURE TO HUNT YOU DOWN.
