Waiting In The Wings

So here I am

I'm a man and that little boy

Tied down deep within me you have broken your word

I'm sorry that

I bowed once again

And let the monsters loose

You can't understand it

You can't understand what it's like

The world which we live in

Feel I'm tearing up inside

I'm loosing my mind

One look and the clown in the mirror says

Hi I'm still here waiting

And time is no longer on your side

A part of him dies

Another one lives in the mirror

And his legacy reigns

But I won't follow you

In the shadows

I cryCloser to heaven

I failI still remember the words that the little boy

I once was

Were told

Son

Order rises from fear

Oh

How I swore

I'd fight what he was

And I'd never be like him

I was such a fool

An ignorant fool to believe

A man can control how he's living out his life

Or change anything

One look and the clown in the mirror says

Hi I'm still here waiting

And time is no longer on your side

A part of him dies

Another one lives in the mirror

And his legacy reigns

But I won't follow you

In the shadows

I cryCloser to heaven

I failSo here

I am

I'm a man in a cynical world

Filled with compromises a tyrant sighs in the mirror

I know now

I've been weak and afraid

And turned the other cheek

He knows I can't stand it

He knows I can't stand that

I am a pawn in his puzzle

And still waiting in the wings

The ghost of my past

One look and the clown in the mirror says

Hi I'm still here waiting

And time is no longer on your side

A part of him dies

Another one lives in the mirror

And his legacy reigns

But

I won't follow him

In the shadows

I cry

Alone so close to heaven

And his legacy reigns

But I won't follow you

In the shadows

I cryCloser to heaven

I fail
