Waiting In The Wings - Seventh Wonder

So here I am
I'm a man and that little boy
Tied down deep within me you have broken your word
I'm sorry that
I bowed once again
And let the monsters loose
You can't understand it
You can't understand what it's like
The world which we live in
Feel I'm tearing up inside
I'm loosing my mind
One look and the clown in the mirror says
Hi I'm still here waiting
And time is no longer on your side
A part of him dies
Another one lives in the mirror
And his legacy reigns
But I won't follow you
In the shadows
I cryCloser to heaven
I failI still remember the words that the little boy
I once was
Were told
Son
Order rises from fear
Oh
How I swore
I'd fight what he was
And I'd never be like him
I was such a fool
An ignorant fool to believe
A man can control how he's living out his life
Or change anything
One look and the clown in the mirror says
Hi I'm still here waiting
And time is no longer on your side
A part of him dies
Another one lives in the mirror
And his legacy reigns
But I won't follow you
In the shadows
I cryCloser to heaven
I failSo here
I am
I'm a man in a cynical world
Filled with compromises a tyrant sighs in the mirror
I know now
I've been weak and afraid
And turned the other cheek
He knows I can't stand it
He knows I can't stand that
I am a pawn in his puzzle
And still waiting in the wings
The ghost of my past
One look and the clown in the mirror says
Hi I'm still here waiting
And time is no longer on your side
A part of him dies
Another one lives in the mirror
And his legacy reigns
But
I won't follow him
In the shadows
I cry
Alone so close to heaven
And his legacy reigns
But I won't follow you
In the shadows
I cryCloser to heaven
I fail
