歌詞

I said I need no gift in return

I gave my strength, let my spirit burn

I built her walls, I held her ground

But silence hides the truth I found

I dress my words in holy white

But shadows whisper late at night

No one else must claim her hand

This burning hunger I can’t withstand

Black expectation, buried in me

Chains of desire I don’t want to see

I say I’m selfless, but deep inside

I want her close, I want her mine

Black expectation, dark and true

A secret fire she never knew

Her smile I shield, her tears I dry

But lust is written in my eye

I hold her safe, I play the saint

But purity is just my paint

I want to steal her from the world

Hold her body, make her my pearl

Yet every word I speak denies

I build a mask of perfect lies

Black expectation, buried in me

Chains of desire I don’t want to see

I say I’m selfless, but deep inside

I want her close, I want her mine

Black expectation, dark and true

A secret fire she never knew

Black… expectation…

A truth I hide…

But I can’t let go
