is this really what you want to hear?
i've been half a man with you not near
a drunken captain who forget how to steer
though now i doubt that i ever did
where you that surprised with what you saw?
an unsatisfied embrace in the unlit hall
a senile cowboy running from the law
slowly losing all his sheep
and despite my insidious intentions
and the torment never confessed
i'd like to think that one day i would be man enough
to wish you all my best
did you find your way home safe tonight?
guided by that dim and misty light
his waiting arms and eyes full of delight
after taming the mysterious nymph
what am i supposed to show?
with you shooting arrows with your bow
i don't think you'll ever really know
just how much i fell apart
and despite my insidious intentions
and the torment never confessed
i'd like to think that one day i would be man enough
to wish you all my best
what did you mean in your last letter?
promising me an endless shelter
i'd like to think i'm so much better
so much better off alone
