You stare down at me, impassive
There's nothing to be done
I've got to measure up
Cease playing for my fun

The way you lurk in shadows
Snake eyes of calculation
I need something to hold on to
You ignore my desperation

I twist in metal circles
Why can't I be like you?
I'm falling into clouds
But you haven't got a clue

Smoothly cutting off my thoughts
As if they weren't there
What could I do to please you
Yet you don't seem to care

I'm trying to follow in your footsteps
Fighting through the thorns
Sliding through the demons
And finding myself torn.
