lyrics

No time where I am, so free to exist,
Only the sense of you lies like a shadow
On the snow, in my mind.

I'd do it again, live life as I choose
Torn by the fourteenth link, inside a square,
Never fair to get that hand.

Exhausted by the hope of you.
My desires are my only crime.
Each day denial of myself.
I'll wish for life another time.

I walk to the window no longer afraid of the dark,
That's where I meet you now and feel the need,
That always bleeds,
That never sleeps.

Innocuous meetings become something so much more,
Adrift in a sea of attraction I can't forget,
Do I repent,
Or just accept?

Exhausted by the hope of you.
A chance to live or just survive.
How to regret the uncontrolled?
There's more to life than just the rules.

Look at life it goes by then I try to remember what it meant,
No regrets for the chance I take.
If it dies, realize that there's no way back again.
Burning bridge blocking every path.

If I leave it alone, could I still live with myself?
Surrender wondering, for certainty,
How much of me,
Would still be free?

But giving up false hope is always the sensible thing.
Would it result in achieving serenity?
Could I release,
And rest in peace?

Exhausted by the hope of you.
My desires are my only crime.
Each day denial of myself.
I'll wish for life another time.
