Without You - First Call

Standing at the crossroads of a dead-end street

Pressured like a secret that you cannot keep

Running to the darkness to escape the night

Dangling at the bottom of a rope held tight

It’s all I can do without You

It’s all I can do without You

Buying up tickets for a runaway train

Pulling at the latchkey on a rusty chain

Shaking hands with devils wearing angel’s wings

Looking for the potion to the scorpion’s sting

It’s all I can do without You

It’s all I can do without You

Without You, I can’t live

Without You, I cannot live

Heart without hope

Breath without soul

Death without life

I cannot live without You

Guilty as a traitor behind enemy lines

Caught within the cogwheel of the daily grind

Tearing out the pages of a dog-eared book

Wiping off the bloodstains from a cross of wood

It’s all I can do without You

It’s all I can do without You

Without You, I can’t live

Without You, I cannot live

Heart without hope

Breath without soul

Death without life

I cannot live without You

It’s all I can do without You

The love of the lion, the fury of the dove

A fist of calluses in a velvet glove

A merciful tyrant, a silent judge

And a heart eternal wrapped in flesh and blood

Wrapped in flesh and blood

It’s all I can do without You

It’s all I can do without You

Without You

Oh, I can’t live without You, I can’t live

Without You

Oh, I can’t live without You, I can’t live

Without You

Oh, I can’t live without You, I can’t live

Without You

Oh, I can’t live without You, I can’t live

Without You

Without You

I can’t live
