Beg, borrow and steal
Take a hold of the wheel
Take me to that horizon
Leave the harbor behind
I must be out of my mind
Give me your blessing, Poseidon
It's just a question of when
I'll take possession and then
You will come crawling to me
(Please, just give us some money)
I finally found me a way
They'll say that I went astray
But when they see me return
Wait and you'll see
Just what I'm about to be
My kingdom for the taking
Waves crash on me
But do nothing, for I believe
From that dream I'll be waking
You said I'll never be all that you want of me
Born in the gutter, a product of malady
Made in the city streets, molded by grinding heat
All that I ever learned kicked and lashed into me
I can remember then, there was a moment when I thought I'd end it all
Never see the light again
On the beach, a body, cold
Beckoning the light of gold
Torn old rag, and guidance in words of old
I asked for your help
Left with bruises and welts
Cursing
Wait and you'll see
Just what I'm about to be
My kingdom for the taking
Waves break on me
But do nothing, for I believe
From that dream I'll be waking
(Land draws closer yet)
(Shapes rise up below)
That sound, that warm liqueur
It tingles down my spine
It's calling me to come look over the edge
That face, that goddess in water
What is it my love, you've been searching for me?
One step is all it takes, then you will be mine
We'll be together
Listen, I would like to lay down next to you
But the stories tell me I should run away
I just need to stop and try
To get it through my mind that you're innocent but I'm the prey
Running on the edge of this insanity
Living in the moment just to stay alive
I would give it up for you
If I thought I had a chance of surviving 'til the sunrise
♪
Take me to the darkness down below
Sand and sea
There was always meant to be a wedding in the waves
(Luminescent skin)
For the song you sing I will be a harmony
A final resting place
(Sinking deep within)
And eyes that glitter like gold
No
Let me go
Release your hold
Siren song, ice cold
♪
Sadly, all that came out was a melody
Jaws that bled the life right from his drowning veins
One more slaughtered lamb who strayed too far for greener pastures
And offered up his neck for the blade
