Wait

Under a blackened sky
 far beyond the glaring streetlights
 sleeping on empty dreams
 the vultures lie in wait.
 You lay down beside me then
 you were with me every waking hour
 so close I could feel your breath.
 When all we wanted was the dream
 to have and to hold
 that precious little thing
 like every generation yields
 the new born hope unjaded by the years.
 Pressed up against the glass
 I found myself wanting sympathy
 but to be consumed again
 oh I know would be the death of me
 And there is a love that's inherently given
 a kind of blindness offered to appease
 and in that light of forbidden joy
 oh I know I won't receive it.
 When all we wanted was the dream
 to have and to hold that precious little thing
 like every generation yields
 the newborn hope unjaded by their years
 You know if I leave you now
 it doesn't mean that I love you any less
 it's just the state I'm in
 I can't be good to anyone else like this.
 When all we wanted was the dream
 to have and to hold that precious little thing
 like every generation yields
 the new born hope unjaded by their years...
