"Give It Time"

In my mind there's embers burning.
In my heart love is churning.
In my soul somethings' died.
Couldn't save it though I tried.

In the night I hide in shadow.
Too weak for my past bravado.
In the morning I will hide -
from the love to which I've lied.

On the scene a friend appears;
Claiming truth hides in mirrors.
I denounce you and your words!
I'll deny all that I've heard.

In my chest a crack is forming;
The demons of the past come storming...
throught the barrier of lies,
force me to look into my eyes.

Drowning now in my sin.
Think I'll let the darkness win.
No more peace, no more pain.
Become an animal again.

Rage my way through it all,
answering the pasts shrill call.
My friends now are little lines,
who'll kill me slowly - give them time.

Yeah, to myself I've given in.
Let my tangled emotions win.
Now they will kill me with their lines...
Yeah, just give it a little time.
I've still got
a little time...
