Lyrics

Loving you comes easy when I touch myself
lying here alone inside my cage
But I can not accept the lasting consequence
of knowing how my cards have been played
Without a second look or a backward glance
your something naughty put upon my plate
consuming little drops I?m accompanied by thoughts
that stalk my sanity and mental state
How can I be
So much more than myself
How can I be
So much more
I?ve loved to many women
and I?ve lived a thousand lives
How can I be so much more
I remember when you said life is much to short
you?ve got to live each moment for today
If my veins were made of ice then I could bare the price
A debt like yours would take to long to pay
How can I be
So much more than myself
How can I be
So much more
I?ve loved to many women
and I?ve lived a thousand lives
How can I be so much more
How can I be /giving into someone?s thought of me
change myself within- on someone?s little whim
is hard when no one else believes your dream

Living on the edge at this stage of my game
the future lies beyond the dark in doubt
living on the edge takes a certain kind of pledge
and that?s not who or what I?m all about
