MOTHER TURTLE lyrics : "The Elf"
One more day, one more show
Playing the bitter clown
From dusk till the final bow
Even one glimpse of you
Makes my heart so hollow
Being a fool in everybody's eyes
Makes it hard to swallow
I never wanted to be perfect
But then again no one is
I never thought I'd be rejected
by all the freaks and even you
It's really not the distance
Not even the empty words
Walking on a burning rope
I can see how the story unfolds
I just want you to stay
I just need you to pray
No one saw, no one knew
You blamed me, I blamed you
You were so cold, you were so pale
Feeling nothing, not even pain
I just want you to stay
I just need you for one more day
They close the doors, they leave me here
My mind still missing, no one shed a tear
A voice inside, is my only friend
A crippled sound, until the end
Words felt so empty
As they crawled on my skin
They put the lights out
I still remember
Still haunted by nightmares
Still haunted by fear
I scream your name out
I pray for forgiveness
Staring at the empty walls
My hate feeds on sin
My hope is fading
But I can't escape it
Words still feel empty
My skin feels like dust
Moments are wasted
Just for one last time...
