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 'w***e'...

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.
