Expected To Heal

It's a moon alley
Somewhere in time
And the door is closed but not by the key
In darkness I step outside of me
What have I become
Numb to the pain
A state of mind without a name
A pulse beat ticking like a clock from twelve to zero
Oh, a hero with nobody knowing it
Exposed like an open wound
The infection of life
Show signs, takes no hold
Expected to heal
The remains of my strength
I'm calling you don't leave me now
I must find this child of passion
Once within that I lost somehow
This pale image of rage no longer keeps me warm
In the back of my mind I must be reborn
Exposed like an open wound
The infection of life
Show signs, takes no hold
Expected to heal
