---

Hearing the call in the dark - suddenly I'm awake

Seeing the pain that it brings - all too familiar sight

Finding I'm walking the line - balance soon escapes

Now that I'm falling behind - torturing my eyes

Same feeling as I felt that day

Innocence lost seems like yesterday

Wander lost never to find my place

Taking the time to find my state of grace

I don't know what to do, what to say, I'm a mime on a permanent high

Feel the cool, feed the pain, I'm the one, who will say, that its never enough

Fall asleep in a bed full of snakes, they bite, & now the venom's in my veins

All alone, in a room, full of black, the lights off, & nobody is home

Taking it back once again - once more I escape

Finding I'm playing the game - suddenly I hear voices

Tell me that you are the one - who takes away the pain

Only to play it again - the game time never looses

I try to forget, but it lurks in my mind

I feel like I'm fading, like I'm not even alive

The first time we met, I held back his fire

But again & again, he returned to me
