What you say you'll do, you do.
Leave fast like an angel.
Flies to and fro.
Your horizon is wide; mine is narrow see?
I can't even tell if you're good to me.

I do it all and accomplish zero.
Daydream that I am changing an era.
So now I am waiting - powerless.
And if I fail, will you want me less?

You watch me silently.
Say nothing - wordlessly.
Drop your hand to catch my hand.
And hold it soft and tight.
Then raise my fist to your silent lips,
And bite.

I can brag.
But can not lie.
The sky is pitch black.
The light is too bright.
I've lost my way; keep close to me.
Only you make me look right.

The wind begins to blow faint hope.
I am like the wind.
You are waves,
Rolling water beneath my caress.
Can you feel this power, so powerless?

You watch me silently.
Say nothing - wordlessly.
Drop your hand to catch my hand.
And hold it soft and tight.
Then raise my fist to your silent lips,
And bite.
