That Is All

Somewhere, off in the distance
I hear a child crying...
A child crying...
And I find that the child is me
I'm the one who is crying...
Waiting too long
For something I forgot was wrong
A peice of you is what I've got
The whole damn thing, is what I want
Now, I've learned never to say never
Because there's always a chance
And I want to be where you are
I want to breath the air, that you breath
My head cries, "Danger", yet I do not listen
For this nightmare is laced with dreams
So, I find that I can remain where I am
Until I have the means, to get where I want to be
I'll find a way, you'll find a way
I know there's a way...
Step out of your past, love
Shed that snake skin you no longer need
Take that worn out mask, from your face
You don't need it, anymore...
I'm nobody's angel
But, everybody's fool
And, I only play this game
For keeps...
Show me your face, tonight
Don't hide behind your past
For it is easy to see through
Don't do as you've always done
Just because it's familiar
Just because it's easy...
Don't go down that road, again
I just couldn't bear it
If you lost yourself once more
If you took the easy way out
If you followed the path of least resistance...
Take on the challenge, dear
Take the road less travelled
I ask you to take the chance
I ask you for your love, that is all...
