Held Back By Lies

[Calvin's Shadow]

I was waiting for an answer
And in the making was a cancer
I let you take my soul
And let fade everything I know
So don't say I'm the one who lied
When all I did was tried
Why should I be left inside
Just to be pushed aside

It's times like these
Where I miss the days
When you were pleased
Without getting praised

And if I said this will be the end
Then would you just lie again
So these are the wounds that time won't mend
And I'll tie my mind up and just pretend
That I'll leave this behind in time
Where only one this on your mind
I won't be cast aside in pride
And hide from dreams held back by lies

The means of escape are so far from here
I can't face fate and won't embrace this fear
Because if I tried to make rage and pain dissapear
Then good memories wouldn't be held so dear
But I guess this is just a faint hope and dream
And I guess if I wait I won't see the scene
But staying like this I won't ever leave
And laying in the mist won't help me breathe

It's times like these
Where I miss the days
When you were pleased
Without getting praised

And if I said this will be the end
Then would you just lie again
So these are the wounds that time won't mend
And I'll tie my mind up and just pretend
That I'll leave this behind in time
Where only one this on your mind
I won't be cast aside in pride
And hide from dreams held back by lies
