My Secret Yearning

There's a man outside my window

Who's there most everyday

His tales of poison fill the air

It's hard to stay away

Save me - Save me

I push the curtain slowly

To bare a hint of light

It pulls my peering soul beyond

The walls of sacred life

Somebody save me - Save me from my secret yearning

Save me - Save me from my secret yearning

My soul is burning

Inside this tiny chamber

Of bars and solid stone

I dig a single earthy grave

But still I'm not alone

I'm too afraid of sleeping

For fear he'll find the key

I shroud my time in constant prayer

In hopes that he will leave

Somebody save me - Save me from my secret yearning

Save me - Save

Won't somebody hear that I am calling

And take him from my side

Force him down beneath the ground

And erase him from my life

I need to rest now

I feel so weak

I'll gain my strength to fight with him

For when we meet - Tomorrow
