Waiting, watching, feeling, hurting
Does he, can he, would he, will he
Trying, laughing, asking, doubting
Has he, might he, is he, could he
Losing, leaving, sharing, crying
Love me

Flesh that parts quiet along the knife blade
Lyrics that resonate, ring alive, fade.
Spirals of chlorophyll cover, defy.
While I am living, this hope cannot die.

Edges of pain that has shrieked in my mind
Trembling despair nearly batters me blind.
Things left behind are more precious than breath.
While I can speak, I will not yield to death.

Watching the light for a chance of reprieve
It will all funnel to what I believe.
Time will bring healing, with scars it must give.
While I am dreaming, my dream will still live.

Broken dreams and fading memories
Nights in blue with lights and sound
Something moving in the distance
Kill it when it comes around.

Lock it out and down forever
Keep your heart a crying stone
Look forever while they think
You think it's fun to be alone.

Choking velvet, bitter laughter
Watch and scream and bravely smile
Just remember somehow it will
All be over in a while.

Dance it out in tarantella
Let it out to keep your head
Lock it up and burn it over
Keep it quiet
Keep watching and waiting...
