Sailing close to the win

being close to a rush of blood
but a normal guy in the neighbourhood
being part of the game
sometimes it's a shame
doing things against conviction
it's a self-crucifixion
with open eyes walking the line
the walk of life seems to be fine
- but how long will it last?
when will i have to pull down the mask?

a high price to the devil to pay
but the truth will have its say
it's a necessary evil
no chance for retrieval
i'm liked by people who don't know
the time will come i've got to go
they'll be sad and in distress
it will be good,will be a mess
- so how long will it last?
when will i have to pull down the mask?

but now i'm here and i will stay
i will wait till i've got to pay
will i be sad or maybe glad
it's half of all i've ever had
is it a chance for a new start?or will it be much too hard?

will i stay strong or capitulate?
will the new freedom be great?
-is it a freedom i can affard?
time of life is much too short...

sailing close to the win

it may end with a better grin
but life's boring without any sin
