|
So here I am, |
|
I'm a man and that little boy |
|
Tied down deep within me-you have broken your word! |
|
I'm sorry that |
|
I bowed once again, |
|
And let the monsters loose |
|
You can't understand it, you can't understand what it's like |
|
The world which we live in |
|
Feel I'm tearing up inside |
|
I'm loosing my mind |
|
One look and the clown in the mirror says: |
|
Hi -i'm still here waiting... |
|
And time is no longer on your side |
|
A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...... and his legacy reigns |
|
But I won't follow you |
|
In the shadows |
|
I cryCloser to heaven |
|
I failI still remember the words that the little boy |
|
I once was, were told: |
|
Son, order rises from fear! |
|
Oh, how I swore |
|
I'd fight what he was |
|
And I'd never be like him |
|
I was such a fool, an ignorant fool to believe |
|
A man can control how he's living out his life |
|
Or change anything |
|
One look and the clown in the mirror says: |
|
Hi -i'm still here waiting... |
|
And time is no longer on your side |
|
A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...... and his legacy reigns |
|
But I won't follow you |
|
In the shadows |
|
I cryCloser to heaven |
|
I failSo here |
|
I am, I'm a man in a cynical world |
|
Filled with compromises-a tyrant sighs in the mirror |
|
I know now |
|
I've been weak and afraid |
|
And turned the other cheek |
|
He knows I can't stand it, |
|
He knows I can't stand that |
|
I am a pawn in his puzzle |
|
And still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my past |
|
One look and the clown in the mirror says: |
|
Hi -i'm still here waiting... |
|
And time is no longer on your side |
|
A part of him dies, another one lives in the mirror...... and his legacy reigns, but |
|
I won't follow him |
|
In the shadows |
|
I cry, alone so close to heaven...... and his legacy reigns |
|
But I won't follow you |
|
In the shadows |
|
I cryCloser to heaven |
|
I fail |
