Know that I tried to stay with you much longer. Know that I tried to be at better man. Know that the pain of flesh is now behind me. Know that the pain of leaving you still remains.
Frightened, trying to decide. Which way do I side. Can't make up my mind this time. . Searching, curiosity's burning. Just what am I learning. From all this wasted time, waiting in line?.
Cornered again. I've backed my self in and I'm fresh out of time. Too much to deal with lately. I feel like I'm juggling knives. . I'm predisposed to be composed.
Did everybody spit upon you?. God dealt a card you didn't ask for. Are you the one they throw the change to. While the other hand locks the door. What are you in for?.
Can you look into my eyes. Before I look away, can you catch my gaze?. Can you see what's deep inside. A lost and lonely man, can you understand?. . That I wear a mask of fear.
Some nights I lie in forced awakeness. My thoughts won't let me go. A sleep like death has claimed the world outside. The silence reshapes my solitude.
I sit in silence here alone. An agony I've made my own. An empty chasm in the dark. Is where I choose to hide my heart. . Something that I've lived with.
Hey, neighbor coma and see. Another reason to be me. Guess I win. . The finest is all I own. Why even my hair's hand sewn. Guess I win. . You've got a home you prize.
No quarter shall be called loud. His cries echo by, like a river's endless flow. To wear away the stone, carve his life like a knife. The scars he'll never show.
I'll lead the way, let's follow the sun. Be on our way envied by everyone. Our bags are all packed, a breeze starts to blow. The winds at our back, are you ready to go? Yeah.
My hands are shaking; head is spinning. No mistake, the end's beginning. Body's aching, I feel like breaking down. Looking left and searching right. The pressure mounting, my skin's too tight.
Just another day,I go about my business. I start to shave in my ordinary way. Nothing has changed, yet something is different. Ah yes-- It's my birthday today.
There's an aura around you. I'm captivated by your eyes. I can't believe that i've found you. Why am I so starry eyed?. I once lived with honor. Followed codes of chivalry.
Oh, to see the moon through her eyes. And to feel the sun the first time, no preconceptions. She looks at me and smiles as she stands. While clutching firm to my sandpaper hands, no imperfection.
I'll soon use my hands. To carve paths through this caged world. Locked up by them. I must hold my courage. Whether their kind will ever give. Whether in life they'll ever live.
Standing alone in a crowded room. He hears it. A voice so familiar, not unlike his own. He fears it. His name being called out from across the room. But he can't see.
I drank in my youth and had more than my share. I'd ask for forgiveness but I really don't care. Don't ask you to see me but for what I am. Was a dad for a while now just a lonely old man.
Can't fight this urge. I'm overwhelmed with anxiety. It's taking over me. . Can't calm my nerves. I just can't seem to stop this calamity. Will it be the death of me?.
[Music & lyrics - D. Ott]. . A face with no emotion. Lost in the television's glow. He's slipping into darkness. Not far from comatose. . With a bottle in his left hand.
The gray light of the morning. The blue-green of the sea. A leaf splashed with color. Falling from a tree. . The sparkle in a diamond. The fire of the sun.
