Tina Arena - Tantalus (06.51) lyrics

Standing in water, but dying of thirst This is my thanks and this is my curse Try as I might, the fruit on the trees All remain beyond reach, beyond wishes or pleading for One last chance Waiting for time to pa** me by Waiting for freedom, waiting to die Where can I go, in a world without hope? There is never a place for a soul that has broken so Trust in no one - Trust in no one Linking the chains that weigh down your reason Nothing to blame, but the actions you choose Driven insane by the conscience of treason Running in vein from a life of abuse The closer I get the further I am The journey I make is the course of the damned The distance I go is no distance at all And I climb to the sky but find myself falling so Trust in no one - Trust in no one Quench my thirst - Fill my heart Feed my mind - Don't leave me starving Hold my hand - stay close by Talk to me - Don't leave me crying here Standing in water, yet dying of thirst This is my thanks and this is my curse Empty forgiveness for old indiscretions And such condemnation for just one transgression Find me now - set me free Find me now - set me free Waiting for time to pa** me by Waiting for freedom, waiting to die Why do you smile at my timeless ordeal here And why do you laugh at my hopeless appeal for your mercy? Tear away the chains - Free me now No one else to blame Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now Driving me insane Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now No one else to blame Let me go Tear away the chains - Free me now Driving me insane Let me go
