VIII STRENGTH.
I have pushed the boundaries
I have burned the threshold
They meet me after the show
Sent up to my room
Our flesh intertwine
And they’re gone before first
light
I keep waiting for something
Something from you
I call out your name
Can’t shake you from my
mind
You were not there!
Seeing me on the stage
Endless disappointment
Like when I was three
“Daddy’s not coming home!”
Where are you now?
I’ve had enough
I’ve seen the world
It knows my name
But fame has left me bitter
I’m sick of this
It’s time to go
I’ll hide away
And leave the public eye
I’m on a road
Don’t know where
What good’s a gift
That leaves you empty
inside?
Praise be damned
It means nothing to me
Oh how I feel
So tired
