Lyrics

Standing in water but dying of thirst
This is my thanks and this is my curse
Try as I might the fruit on the trees all remain
Beyond reach, beyond wishes or pleading for one last chance
Waiting for time to pass me by
Waiting for freedom, waiting to die
Where can I go in a world without hope?
There is never a place for a soul that is broken
So trust in no one
Trust in no one
Linking the chains that weigh down your reason
Nothing to blame but the actions you choose
Driven insane by the conscience of treason
Running in vain from a life of abuse
The closer I get the further I am
The journey I make is the course of the damned
The distance I go is no distance at all
And I climb to the sky but find myself falling
So trust in no one
Trust in no one
Quench my thirst, fill my heart, feed my mind
Don't leave me starving
Hold my hand, stay close by, talk to me
Don't leave me crying here
Standing in water yet dying of thirst
This is my thanks and this is my curse
Empty forgiveness for all indiscretions
And such condemnation for just one transgression
Find me now, set me free
Find me now, set me free
Waiting for time to pass me by
Waiting for freedom, waiting to die
Why do you smile at my timeless ordeal here?
And why do you laugh at my hopeless appeal for your mercy?
Tear away the chains, free me now
No one else to blame, let me go
Tear away the chains, free me now
Try to me and say let me go
Tear away the chains, free me now
No one else to blame, let me go
Tear away the chains, free me now
Try to me and say let me go
