God Only Knows

I was waiting for something
I was listening to my breathing
Like a man listening to lifeI was looking for fire
It could take me or leave me
It could all just burn awayThe oxygen law
It remains meI'd been surrounded for hours
By the sound of thinking metal
And I knew something was wrongI can tell you what fear is
It is the smell of burning
And I'd been close once beforeI waited a long time
How I survived God only knows
It seemed like forever
How I survived God only knows
I don't like the memory
How I survived God only knows
How I survived God only knowsI remember the feeling
I'll remember forever
How it all just came apartI don't believe in praying
I don't believe in a God
Now I question everythingThe dreamer is gone
I'm an old manI could tell you of horror
I could show you the pieces
But I just want to forgetI'm not sure if I saw it
I'm not sure if I heard it
I just screamed 'I can't get out'
'I can't get out'
