Waiting In The Wings

So here I am, I'm a manAnd that little boy tied downDeep within meYou have broken your word!I'm sorry that I bowed once againAnd let the monsters looseYou can't understand itYour can't understand what it's likeThe world which we live inFeel I'm tearing up insideI'm loosing my mindOne look and the clownIn the mirror saysHi -- I'm still here waitingAnd tine is no longer on your sideA part of him diesAnother one lives in the mirrorAnd his legacy reignsBut I won't follow youIn the shadows I cryCloser to heaven I failI still remember the wordsThat the little boy I once was, were toldSon, order rises from fearOh, how I swore I'd fight what he wasAnd I'd never be like himI was such a foolAn ignorant fool to believeA man can controlHow he's living out his lifeOr change anythingOne look and the clownIn the mirror saysHi -- I'm still here waitingAnd time is no longer on you sideA part of him diesAnother one lives in the mirrorAnd his legacy reignsBut I won't follow youIn the shadows I cryCloser to heaven I failSo here I am, I'm a man in a cynical world filledWith compromisesA tyrant signs in the mirrorI know now I've been weak and afraid and turnedThe other cheekHe knows I can't stand it. He knows I can't standThat I amA pawn in his puzzleAnd still waiting in the wings, the ghost of my pastOne look and the clown in the mirror saysHi -- I'm still here waitingAnd time is no longer on your sideA part of him diesAnother one lives in the mirrorAnd his legacy reigns, but I won't follow himIn the shadows I cry, aloneSo close to heaven[CHORUS]And his legacy reignsBut I won't follow youIn the shadows I cryCloser to heaven I fail
