Debauchery

The heartbeat that's drumming is inside my chest,

I wish it would cease, so I may pas this test...

I pray for an answer and I want nothing more

For the chance to prove how I am not a bore...

The darkened shadows hide my silent frame,

The window's coolness can soothe this pain

For I have watched you, day in and day out

Through too many lovers, and I have no doubt

You get what you want, there's no way around

Your word is command throughout this town...

But I can't help but wonder, if you do realize

The lack of passion within your own eyes.

I see all you see, I feel all you do...

I stay occupied when I know-know you.

I've seen so many lovers, debauchery galore,

And never stopped to call each of them 'whore'...

There's no time for that left, time's running out

And when I'm gone, dear who'll keep the darkness out?

I keep my eyes open each time that you dream,

I swallow my tears and I know it's not me.

The darkened shadows hide my despair,

I don't mean to vent, I don't mean you don't care...

But sometimes I wonder, if you notice the thing...

The person who's with you through the thick and the thin.
