Duress

                                  And when the dawn begins to creep 

Sunlight finds you in a heap 

And how you wish that you could sleep 

Forget the lies that you've been told 



You think you're settin' free your soul

But you're really gettin' old 

You've dreamt of divin' in the sea 

Your outstretched arms in front of me 



And how you wished that you could breathe 

In the grip of ecstasy 

When the shadows follow me 

And the night won't set me free 



You wish someone could love you less 

Longing for that one caress 

I see you sink under Duress 

And when you wanna kill it dead 

You let it throttle you instead
