barely contained rage
boils just at the rim
look out now
don't get burned
I'm about to blow
get away from here

don't look at me like that
I didn't want this
I wanted happiness
I wanted your arms
I wanted your love

now I've lost you
my rage found a way
shadows long buried
come to the surface
and I hide, afraid
drowning in my own cowardice

don't look at me with those eyes
I didn't want this
I wanted peace
I wanted your kiss
I wanted your love

spare me from your hate
I don't need it anymore
I hate myself enough
for the both of us
my own shadows
haunt me enough

don't look on me, cruel light
I didn't ask for this
I prayed for her
I prayed for me
I prayed for love

self-righteous now
I look down upon this
world of hate I've wrought
my own sins
piled against me
there the dark tower

don't spare me your glance
I don't want this
I wanted your presence
I wanted your hand
I wanted your heart

alone and lofty throne
I sit and gaze
at the desolate world
raised up before me
my icy tower again
pierces the sky

don't turn away from me
I can't let go
I wanted you happy
I wanted you healed
I wanted you with me

again I walk to the edge
down into the pit I stare
once more I stare
into the eyes of oblivion
all I see looking back at me
is my own reflection

don't look on me, oh Fate
I don't want this Doom
I wanted Destiny
I wanted her smile
I wanted her touch

patience they say
to me they say wait
too often patience
has betrayed me
still to the horizon I look
somewhere there is a dawn

don't look at me like that
I didn't want this
I wanted your caress
I wanted your arms
I wanted your love
