Through this film of darkness covering my gaze and all that I see
my thoughts are all for you
What am I, who am I, that I long for the sheltering gloom of that dark place
why, when I am lonely, can I not seek the companionship of others
Why do I go where I am not wanted
Why am I peaceful where I am not comfortable?
I feel it would be the joy of my life to please you just once
But again and again I disappoint
Just when it is most crucial to succeed I make my slip
And am fated always to be lackluster in your eyes
Why when I am separated from that place
Do my thoughts turn toward it again and again
That dark and lonely morgue?
Just when I think I may have won your approval
You remind me that I am unwanted
Just when I think you might open the door
I find it locked against me
You shut me out and leave me with my own scattered thoughts
It seems like I belong with you
Or at least I don't belong anywhere else
Won't you please give me a chance?
