My Gavel Hand — текст песни (Enchant)

[Music - D. Ott / Lyrics - T. Leonard]

Running blind and out of breath
But in the wrong direction
I don`t recall or recognize
My own reflection

Locked myself in a cell I can`t breach
My key to sovereignty lies just out of reach
Can`t set myself free:

Can`t seem to keep down my last meal
Can`t turn back the hand I deal
Feel like I`m caught in foreign land
Exiled by my gavel hand

A rat in a cage
I`m spinning the wheel
But getting nowhere
The gallows -- my stage
I`m seen by all
Performing to no one

This could have been my finest day
A drug that expends me; the price that I pay
Can`t throw it away:

Can`t seem to keep down my last meal
Can`t turn back the hand I deal
Feel like I`m caught in foreign land
Exiled by my gavel hand

The cage that I`m in is formed
From my own design:
No way out that I can tell
Stay here forever trapped
Inside my own mind:
I know every corner so well

And I fear that when I finally find the will
The atrophy will keep me lying still

But I`m tired of the darkness
And I`m tired of the smell
But I`m torn; I don`t know anything else
And I`m tired of the nighttime
And I long for the day
But I`m torn; I don`t know another way

Running blind, out of breath
Spinning the wheel
But getting nowhere:
