lyrics

I stand in the darkness behind my work and swallow
My mind's lost a spark and I'm destined to lurk and wallow
til I'm hollow

All I'll ever want is to be known
Seen as more than marrow in my bones
I'd even stay alone

I don't ask for glory, I don't pray for sinner's remission
I've only one plea, I've only a single ambition
I want recognition

All I'll ever want is to be known
Seen as more than marrow in my bones
I'd even stay alone
