lyrics to a new song….in progress.

Victory

There is something in the air

it's like a chill that's barely there

till it cuts me to the bone

unprepared and unaware

fear, like a gun in your hand

There's no need to be unkind

put it down or shoot it blind

I am hostage to your dread

of being used and left behind

Find me the words

why should it hurt to say that

You don't know how much you mean to me

You don't know how much you mean to me

Go ahead and claim your victory

oh, but I can't let you go

Because I know I bruised you

every time I couldn't find you

I destroyed your hiding place

all because I wished to bind your heart to my heart

for all time

Find me a way

How can you say

You don't know how much you mean to me

you don't know how much you mean to me

So go ahead and claim your victory

oh..

I brought down your walls

and made them crumble

but it was all for love.

Your hunger grows, and when you stumble

it won't be enough

So if I'm damned and unforgiven

I will take my time

and wait as long as you believe in redemption

for my kind.

You don't know how much you mean to me

You don't know how much you mean to me

Go ahead and claim your victory

Oh, but I can't let you go.

(eik, 2010)
