I feel like I’ve been beaten
And brutalized 
By the thunder
Under rainy skies 
And I keep waiting 
For the end of the story
Baby just save me
Please don’t implore me
To be more than I am
To make a new scene
All I ever seem to do
Is wake the dream
Up from where it rests
In a lonely stead
And it’s just rattling noise
This sound in my head
As I build a monument 
To what we were
Now I must kneel
At the foot of you and her
And doff my cap
And curtsy neat
But you know
I’ll never walk these feet
To your door
Just to genuflect
And be surprised 
At what comes next
I’ve made my proposal 
Now let it be so
And if you don’t like it
You don’t have to go
To the place
I’ve been waiting for
I know you’re
Behind a closed door
