Open Mic Week 76 - Building A Mystery by Sarah McLachlan

I have not submitted an entry for a few weeks, but the weather was nice and I had a day to myself. Worked up this little number. (I know I messed up in a few spots) Enjoy!

Thank you to @luzchypher and @pfunk for hosting open mic and also thank you to all the judges! I know it takes a long time to go through all of these entries, but I really appreciate everything you do!

Lyrics:

you come out at night
that's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
you strut your rasta wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross from a faith
that died before Jesus came
you're building a mystery

you live in a church
where you sleep with voodoo dolls
and you won't give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms

[chorus]
'cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on and holding it in
yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully

you woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your secret god
you feed off our fears
and hold back your tears

give us a tantrum
and a know it all grin
just when we need one
when the evening's thin

oh you're a beautiful
a beautiful fucked up man
you're setting up your
razor wire shrine

[chorus]

[repeat chorus]

Again, thank you so much for watching!!!
