Dead to Lights

Oh baby, I\'m sorry

I don\'t think you know

The power you have over me...

I gaze out

At the twinkling city lights,

The darkness beyond

Engulfs me in sorrow.

I let the music wash over me,

Ointment on seeping wounds.

 

I tried to go down 

To the chapel today,

But the doors were barred - 

A heathen,

They wouldn\'t let me in.

There\'s nothing more to say,

I disappoint daily,

Living my life

Shrouded

In the stifling linen of fear.
