I LINGER IN THE DARKNESS



AS I WAIT IN THE NIGHT



BLOCKING ALL EMOTIONS



FROM A HEART FULL OF FRIGHT



AS I DANGLE FROM THE TOWER



OR A BUILDING HIGH ABOVE



I HAVE MUCH FEAR OF LETTING GO



OF THIS POWER THEY CALL LOVE



I AM POWERLESS TO THE CAUSE



OF WHY MY HEART IS BREAKING



THE VERY BREATH INSIDE OF ME



IS SLOWLY BEING TAKIN



I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE DAY



WHEN I BECOME A MARIANET



MY LIFE BEING WORKED OUT LIKE A PLAY



IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH



I SIT PAITENTLY AND WONDER WHY



THIS PAIN IS DRAWN TO ME



WHY CAN'T I JUST LET EVERYTHING GO



AND JUST BE HAPPY



ONLY WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES



CAN I ESCAPE THE TOTURES OF MY LIFE



BUT ONLY LONG ENOUGH TO SEE



THAT I CAN'T HIDE FROM THE PAIN AND STRIFF



I AM STILL HANGING ON



TO THIS ONE LAST TINY THREAD



TRYING HARD TO REVIVE



A HEART THAT'S LONG BEEN DEAD



DEAD FROM PASSON



AND TORN AWAY FROM THE SUN



TO SIT ALONE IN THE DARKNESS



UNTILL I FIND THE RIGHT ONE.



SO TILL THE DAY WHEN I COME AROUND



AND FIND THE ONE I LOVE



I WILL HANG IN THIS TOWER



IN THE BUILING HIGH ABOVE



ONLY WHEN I FIND THE ONE



WILL I LET GO OF THIS STRING



UNTILL THEN I WILL CLOSE MY EYES



AND LET THIS BECOME BUT A DREAM
