If I closed my eyes,
drifted into a soft sleep,
would you protect me?

If I faded away into nothingness,
or foolishly left you behind
would you rapidly follow?

If it was just you and me,
just the two of us
would you be lonely?

If I carefully caressed you,
desperately needed you,
would you just take me?

If you had to leave,
disappear and never return
I beg of you to visit my dreams.

Can you hear me
dropping the pin
Can you see
my chagrin

I won't force this
dismiss my provocative nature

Pretend you didn't see
Pretend you couldn't hear

A dozen years pass by twice
many more I keep rolling the dice
Fitting basement living in the dark
Empty bank within my heart
Ever loved never felt
conditional cards always dealt
That search for what has means
What is real treasure true
11 years invested didn't feel that with you
This your second chance
you did not even invest
No feelings given to fill me up
My bank robbed blown to hell
I find myself left empty
A shell, waiting to be filled
