Nearly from Love & Stalking by Love & Stalking

here in the darkness, in the middle of a dancing crowd
the people move, embracing, why does no one want to touch me?
then suddenly i see her, an angel sent from heaven
but seconds pass and she goes off with another man

almost entirely smothered in misery
mostly completely unbearably close
do i dare be an optimist or do i raise my fists
no! these are thorns but i'm surely, i'm nearly a rose

here in the darkness, in the middle of a dancing crowd
the people move, embracing, why does no one want to touch me?

almost entirely smothered in misery
mostly completely unbearably close
do i dare be an optimist or do i raise my fists
no! these are thorns but i'm surely, i'm nearly a rose
don't get too close

here in the darkness, in the middle of a dancing crowd
the people move, embracing, i can feel them all around me
my arms, stretched out, around her, my angel sent from heaven
she nourishes my soil as i grow into the ceiling

almost entirely smothered in misery
mostly completely unbearably close
do i dare be an optimist or do i raise my fists
no! these are thorns but i'm surely, i'm nearly a rose

one day soon you'll blossom
right along her venus
growing stronger daily
till you find your peace within

just a moment, one more second

here in the darkness, in the middle of a dancing crowd
the people move, embracing , why does no one want to touch me?
then suddenly i see her, an angel sent from heaven
but seconds pass and she goes off with another man

one day they will see what it means to be adored
flowers bloom free, i'll no longer be ignored ...
... i'm here in the darkness
