I drove a wedge between the day and night
My fear is casting a shadow
This guilt trips driving down the street tonight
My spirit takes me through this avenue

The time has come today
But I stopped two blocks away
Someday I will return
To the ashes I have burned
To sing a song of love and sorrow

I was pummeled in this house of pain
But I survived the wars I waged
And I've screamed with all the spit
That's on this stage
"This open heart is back tomorrow"

The time has come today
But I stopped two blocks away
Someday I will return
To the ashes I have burned
To sing a song of love and sorrow
