I’ll dig my hole down deeper,
as silence becomes my keeper.
I’ll re-describe and rearrange.
Your bitter sweet love is my cave.
For your heart, I am a slave.
But it’s your soul I truly crave.
Never wanted to be seen this way.
When is the end to all this pain?
All theses feelings I can’t escape.
I keep them with me, but stow them away.
Somehow, I got lost in your maze,
leaving you to misbehave.
Shut me out, I’ll sneak back in.
It’s gonna take a lot to break my skin.
Keep looking at me with that evil grin.
You think you’ve gotten away with it?
Okay, maybe just a bit.
I can feel the sickness enveloping me.
Don’t get why you refuse to see.
Bet you didn’t make her pay a fee.
Sadness is a past tense.
Anger is all I bear now.
I’ll go put up a fence, to go around my wall.
Why did I believe that I could let it fall?
Now I feel I’ve lost it all.
Why did it take so long for me
to realize I don’t belong?
And all the while, you were telling me
there’s nothing wrong,
to just keep holding on.
Don’t you worry, I am not trying to leave.
I have enough patience to wait til you believe.
You think I want things out of greed,
but baby I have never been a lair.
And this is the wrong kind of fire.
Over and over, repetition is our dance.
Is it really that bad to want a little romance?
Don’t you want to feel excited?
Never mind, I’ll just keep dying on the inside.
You really can’t see all the feelings I have to hide.
Until you can, though,
I’ll wait and bide my time.
Keeping myself busy and high,
to whisk thoughts of you out of my mind.
