And my final entrance, walk center stage
Am I not proud? The house is sold out
Hear the vultures screaming, 'Feed hungry eyes'
The noise from the crowd; I played and they bowed
Mark my neck with teeth
How was I supposed to know?
'Run' she came; 'Love' she sang
She called so sweet; 'Run' she stayed
Breathing deep the comfort, sobbing in my ear
'Mother, run home. I'm left not my own'
Just when did my siren start to sound so sad?
The nervous defeat, her lock incomplete
What's so wrong that I'm cast away?
Wake this sleeping giant
Wake this dream tonight
Days turn to weeks turn to years
Thought turns to rot off the walls and the echo
Pacing a piece of me left a while on
Pacing in circles, a feeling a piece of me left a while on
Was I not worth the words I prayed for sleep
'I'd die for sleep'
Forgive me if I might have been just a little
