Here I stand on this balcony...
I take a pull and then take a sip
My body tries to reject it
Though my lips
Have already accepted it...
And I wait for you...
Will tonight be the night
Will you come and see me tonight...
I look in the sky cuz’ I know
You are everywhere...
But yet you’re not here...
My heart grows tired of just believing
But still feeling alone...
So I take another pull, another sip
Of this poison that I have picked...
It hurts my body but it hides the pain
At first it is hard to breathe
But slowly
Ever so slowly it becomes fluent...
At first it burns going down
But slowly
Ever so slowly it becomes smooth...
Still...
I wait for you...
Not for a sign or some shooting star
But for you...
Nothing else can quite compare...
I wait for you...
Not to carry me
But to sit awhile...
Again into the sky I gaze
Trying to make your face out
In the darkness that is called night...
Still nothing...
Still alone...
How I beg for tears
But my eyes will not give in
Never back out of the oath made so long ago...
So I fill my lungs and empty them
Fill my mouth and swallow...
This missery, this loneliness
This waiting...
Time passed becomes a butt and an empty glass...
Back to reality
Back to the loneliness of crowded rooms...
And tomorrow...
I will wait again.
