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
