Without You

Standing at the crossroads
Of a dead-end street
Pressured like a secret
That you cannot keep
Running to the darkness
To escape the night
Dangling at the bottom
Of a rope held tight
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you

Buying up tickets
For a runaway train
Pulling at the latchkey
On a rusty chain
Shaking hands with devils
Wearing angel's wings
Looking for the potion
To the scorpion's sting
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you

Without you I can't live
Without you I can't live
Heart without hope
Breath without soul
Death without life
I cannot live without you

Guilty as traitor
Behind enemy lines
Caught within the cogwheel
Of the daily grind
Tearing out the pages
Of a dog-eared book
Wiping off the bloodstains
From a cross of wood
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you

Without you I can't live
Without you I can't live
Heart without hope
Breath without soul
Death without life
I cannot live without you

The love of the lion
The fury of the dove
A fist of callouses
In a velvet glove
A merciful tyrant
A silent judge
And a heart eternal
Wrapped in flesh and blood
Wrapped in flesh and blood
It's all I can do without you
It's all I can do without you
