Under your protective wing I walked into the light
And a thousand angry demons up and took flight
I went running through the fields with that 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 not leaving now
I will find you
There is no way out
I'll keep tracking you down in the still of the night
Mine forever, mine forever

Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
I'm not just killing time
Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
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 its face
And a voice from deep inside me screamed to get out of this place
Above my head, all was said as the jailor turned the key on me
He said you're not running out, no you're not leaving now
There ain't no way, there ain't no way
Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
I'm not just killing time
Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
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 stares
There's a ghost in here somewhere
There's a ghost in here somewhere

Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
I'm not just killing time
Don't leave your mark on me
I had to reply
I'm not staying
I'm not staying
I'm not staying no
