The Victim Won’t Be Me

I’ve listened to the arc of reason,
In the space between longing and need,
Caught up in indecision,
Always fighting to be freed.

You’ve made your place in my heart,
Still I try to push you away,
It’s the not knowing that I can’t shoulder,
A cold chill that starts the day.

I really have to go now,
Let my mind be all I see.
I‘ll release my fear of darkness,
A way out so I can breathe.

I’m underground,
Without a sound,
But the victim won’t be me

If it isn’t fate,
Then it’s not too late,
The victim won’t be me.

If I let you go without me,
Do I make it even, and leave myself too?
Love’s a captured longing,
Love was all I knew.

But I really have to go now,
Let my mind be all I see,
Release the fear of darkness,
A way out so I can breathe.

I’m underground,
Without a sound,
But the victim won’t be me.

If it isn’t fate,
Then it’s not too late,
The victim won’t be me.

If it’s love that keeps the heart in limbo,
Then it’s time to set it free,
I don’t want to be its prisoner,
Make it everything I need.

I’m underground,
Without a sound,
But the victim won’t be me.

If it isn’t fate,
Then it’s not too late.
The victim won’t be me.
