I'm waiting
Here in the dark
Waiting for the footfall
Crouched in the night
Is the end
Ready to spring
I can feel the tension build
I can hear
The inevitable sigh

It's getting so close
I'm so very close...

What business do I have
With any complaint
Who should worry
About my viewpoint
The machine doesn't care
What it's electrons know
And the body doesn't care
What each cell feels
We each are expendable
Disposable parts
Cells to sloughed
Electrons to be exchanged
Just a tiny part of some whole
We'll never know

When the plug is pulled
On your life
You know
You sense
The turbulence
All around
And then
Life seems to calm
Until that day you look up
And realize
You've just
Been going in circles
Round and round
And every day
Just a little closer
To the end

If you've a warning
Please make it clear
Not shrouded in mystery
That women hold dear
You said we were through
You'd already left my heart
You had no mercy
As you tore us apart
Cowardess has a name
I saw it written in your eyes
Disdain's secret language
Translated by your lies
The woman I thought I loved
I fought for what you wanted
The woman who never loved
Has left me haunted
