tie those knots around me tighter
don't ever let me out again
or
i'll cut your heart to ribbons when you're
lookin in the mirror

don't you ever give me wiggle-room
a place to fly free again
cuz there's nothin you
can ever gain from me

don't look me in the  face
it will knife you again
just tie the knots tighter
push my black hood back on

i'm a dangerous animal
don't let me go free
keep your eyes safe and look away
or
you'll be the next in line

staring up at me
wondering
how is this
happening
......
so tie those knots around me tighter
don't let me ever out again
or
i'll cut your heart to ribbons when you're
lookin in the mirror

“When rocks shall roll like waves,
Upon a shore of water,
Then only time can say
When the rock-sea shall be smooth.”

“She walked into the room with a light,
Noiseless step. But I heard it.
And when she raised her eyes, they found mine.
Then she looked away.”

“When hot meets cold and does not melt it,
When flint meets flesh and does not cut it,
When heart meets heart and does not change,
Then you shall know.”

lights go out at night
and nobody cries
but this time the light bulb
brings tears to my eyes

it's just the beginning of a
long lonely life
just the black end
of a brilliant light
