Where were the eyes that followed
How could they've found
These misery's merchants
Struck the message deep
"We have come to stay"

Dogs fled there in the dark of his path
Feared him as once they all did

Like a ghost in daylight
on an overcrowded street
He wishes
To be something he is not

Like a shadow at midnight
that originate in air
He wishes for release

Deep in the back it had caught him
The anchor they threw at his life
oh these misery's merchants
Dragged through life as a burden

Rushed off to his cage of glass
to open the single window
A means of escape, out in the open
there are still holes in these walls
Puking information into the unwanting
Probing the last hope of defence
So he plugged up the holes
Shut the outside window
In doing that, madness payed a visit

...and then suddenly in midthought,
escape was a factor and as from inside
pushing out were words
Through fingers came uncovering
revealing the truth of him there in the dark...

Skin began to crawl as they neared him
Is all pleasure release?
Oh these misery's merchants
Saw the message clear
"It is time to pay"

Dogs fled there in the dark of his path of the damned
Feared him as once they all did

Like a ghost in daylight
on an overcrowded street

10. On Your Time

Neither here or there in our unity of twine
Solitary sanity, traded in for life

Once we crawled into the artificial night
All was left and I arrived on your time

There in the collision
Wish answers could arrive
Was I kept up for this?
Did the physical emotion
break the fall of sleep

I'd never thought of things that you would say
Could never tell if what you said were lies

It's sin here eating
It's down there drinking
Be with me, not against me
Bear with it, Love against me

I've never known if there was enough time
could never tell if it was done just right

An Icicle thrust
to soothe the disorder
between the eyes
where the well is the deepest

I've never known if there was enough time
Could never tell is it was done just right

And so carried words
that spoke of no matter
Was I held here for this?
Did the path of devotion stray from what you felst?

I've never seen things here in this light
Could never tell if your touch was deeper than skin

Once I thought that what no time can heal
Is here in me – but time proved me wrong
deeper still toward and outward pride
No more lies – I'm here on your time
