The Awakening
(专辑: Story Of Your Bones - 2000)
Gather yourself, up 'til now there's been no clue The
awakening will be swift and harsh and rude And it won't be what you know and it won't be what you'd expect And it will carry with it the
force of fear-inspiring wreck This keeps me up all night, makes me pass the
day in bed And it's caused me such grief, it's been months since I've bled But I
will do what is right, I
will do what's expected No I
won't be chastised and I
won't be rejected But I
will wait for you to come around And I
will wait for you to change your mind And I
will give you your one last chance over and over a
thousand times I
wanted to be your shelter, I
wanted to be your home I
wanted to be your reason and have that reason made known So no one would know my weakness, no one would hear what I'm thinking I
am the
biggest coward; they call the
woman of the
hour Doing eighty miles an hour, I
roll the
window down And with the
freedom heavy on the
air, I
felt that I
would drown And everything is different, and though freedom had its price A
poor man's Joan of Arc, through the
ashes still I
rise Cause I
did wait for you to come around And I
did wait for you to change your mind And I
did give you your one last chance over and over a
thousand times And I
will live out of love and I
will act out of fairness And I
will be the
richness that lies beneath the
surface of awareness
