In the silence I hear the clock ticking My skin is warm against the cold evening The scars I'm aware have left my bed To chase me in a walk for meaning I live as I dream, I fight as I love It'll cost me the world to bloom as a God But here I am now When everything else has been broken With a fistful of hate I numbered the days To open my rugged heart I gambled and lost The mercy, the call To tear this question apart The fever, the war Locked out too far To be reached and ended for good Is closer than never I may be worthy of heaven But I'm not quite in the mood And turning my back to this fate I've made one of my own Don't be ashamed and fool me again I won't last too long And turning my back to this fate I've made one of my own Don't be ashamed and fool me again I won't last too long 'Cause I, I beg for a life of dreaming 'Cause I, I beg for a life of dreaming
