Don't Leave Your Mark on Me (Mark 2) - John Parr

Under your protective wing I walked into the night

And a thousand angry demons up and took flight

And I went running through the fields with the fever in my veins

And the rain came crashing down and tried to clear my name

Above my head, all in red, I could see you bearing down on me

You said, you’re not running out, no you’re leaving now

I will find you, there is no way out

I’ll keep tracking you down in the still of this night

forever, mine forever

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no and I’m not just killing time

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no, I’m not staying, no

Mistress of the darkness, accomplice of the night

A shadow in the doorway beckons me inside

And something led the way though I could not see it’s face

And a voice from deep inside me screamed to get out of this place

Above my head

All was said as the jailer turned the key on me

He said, you’re not running out, no you’re not leaving now

There ain’t no way, there is no no way

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no and I’m not just killing time

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no, I’m not staying, no

This nightmare never ends, memories of absent friends

Masked illusions stare at me, point the finger silently

Stand accused as the jury scares, there’s a ghost in here somewhere

There’s a ghost in here somewhere

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no and I’m not just killing time

Don’t leave your mark on me, I have to reply

I’m not staying, no, I’m not staying, no

I’m not staying, no

Oh, this nightmare really never ends

This is memories of absent friends

(Don't leave your mark on me)

Oh, this nightmare really never ends

There’s a ghost in here somewhere

(Don't leave your mark on me)

Oh, this nightmare really never ends

There’s a ghost in here somewhere

(Don't leave your mark on me)
