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 in which we live in

Feel I'm tearing up inside

I'm losing my mind

What luck and the clown in the mirror says I

I'm still here waiting

And time is no longer on your side

And his legacy reigns

But I won't follow you

In the shadows I cry, yes I cry

Closer to heaven I fade

I still remember the words

That the little boy I once was

Were told son, all the rises from fear

Oh how I swore I'd find 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

What luck and the clown in the mirror says I

I'm still here waiting

And time is no longer on your side

And his legacy reigns

But I won't follow you

In the shadows I cry, yes I cry

Closer to heaven I fadeSo here I am, I'm a man in a cynical world

Filled with compromises

A thousand times 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 part in his puzzle

And still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my past

One look and the clown in the mirror is inside

I'm still here with you

And time is no longer on your side

And his legacy reigns, but I won't follow him

In the shadows I cry alone, so close to heaven

And his legacy reigns, I won't follow him

In the shadows I cry, yes I cry

Closer to heaven I feel
