|
I get so angry and helpless |
|
There's no way back from this spiral |
|
Something always has to give |
|
And nothing is given for nothing |
|
The drug is in my veins now |
|
Your life is your own for the taking |
|
My body must be slowing down now |
|
But my heart is at the speed of flying |
|
I'm walking out, I close the door |
|
I'm down the steps for the last time |
|
You can lose too much to ever want to start |
|
Over again - over again |
|
When I look back and think about it |
|
All I see is her face staring into mine |
|
I feel the child holding onto me |
|
I'm smelling his sweet smell of innocence |
|
The world has become too silent |
|
This night it seems everlasting |
|
The clocks ticking on like dripping water |
|
But the hands are not moving |
|
I'm walking out, I close the door |
|
I'm down the steps for the last time |
|
Then dawn breaks open in faded blue |
|
And the sounds of the city waking |
|
I'm walking out, I close the door |
|
I'm down the steps for the last time |
|
But the grass is soaked with fallen dew |
|
And the sun is almost rising |
