This is my life It's not what it was before All these feelings I've shared And these are my dreams That I'd never lived before Somebody shake me 'cause I I must be sleeping
Now that we're here,it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All the mistakes,one life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, it's so far awar And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed To be the person I am today
These are my words That I've never said before I think I'm doing okay And this is the smile That I've shown before Somebody shake me 'cause I I must be sleeping
Now that we're here,it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All the mistakes,one life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, it's so far awar And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed To be the person I am today
I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me Afraid of waking Please don't shake me
Now that we're here,it's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All the mistakes,one life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, it's so far awar And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed To be the person I am today

【乐队简介】
Staind正式形成还是发生在1993年的New England一个圣诞节晚会之后,现在乐队的主唱Aaron Lewis碰到了现在的吉他手Mike Mushok。随后Aaron Lewis带来了贝斯手(现在已经离队了),而Mushok带来了鼓手Jon Wysocki,乐队最后成立于95年11月24日。在96年11月29日发行了第一张以乐队名字命名的CD。这张唱片在首发之日凭借900人的出席人数而取得了超乎想象的成功,那晚唱片一共卖出去200张。到第二年我们和一些乐队——比如Honkeyball,Shed,Kilgore,GWAR和Far and God Lives Under Water在整个New England做小型演出时,唱片销量已经升到了2000张。
