There's a need for you to be the only person in the room
A stifling reflection of what it is you have become
There's a sadness in your eyes
As another part of your heart dies
It must be lonely, man
Your coven of believers pushed you to the edge
Correct in their assumption, they're the will to your command
Is your finger pushing down on yours and their demise?
It must be heavy, man
If only for a while, you took a back seat
Let somebody else hold the light
It shows no shame to let your guard down
If only for a while you were you
The sight of your own reflection must bring bile to your throat
If you sought your own redemption, would your ego learn to cope?
Your personality dictates that you must rant and you must rage
Until you get your way
I'm no religious man, but I can call someone who is
Your devilment is destroying you, they will do all that they can
Your silver and your gold
Will only keep you feeling cold until it buries you
If only for a while, you took a back seat
Let somebody else hold the light
It shows no shame to let your guard down
If only for a while you were you
Life's a short fuse, don't burn out
There's a door and a light
That you will lose if you fight
Or you can welcome it
There's a door and a light
That you will lose if you fight
Or you can welcome it
If only for a while
If only for a while
If only for a while, you took a back seat
Let somebody else hold the light
It shows no shame to let your guard down
If only for a while you were you
If only for a while you were you
If only for a while
If only for a while
If only for a while
