Weird this destiny is, it starts somewhere and ends somewhere else, what are these destinations we arrive at, I don't understand nor do you
REMAIN STILL.
Remain still, let me capture you,
Stay put, let me take you all in,
Remain still, let me have you the way I always wanted,
Stay warm, let me fall in love with you, again and again.
Your stillness speaks a lot, through your eyes the lights shine,
Your stillness provokes anguish, fear
I let go of who I am,Your, being there, not being there is the same,
My being here and not being here is the same.
We aren't here, we aren't together,
But, yet, the way our souls root for each other,
The way our hearts beat,
The way our nights go staying awake in utter loneliness,
Makes, we wonder, we are together, even if we aren't.
Remain still, in my dreams, let me capture you,
Stay put, in my dreams, let me take you all in,
Remain still, in my dreams, let me have you the way I wanted,
Stay warm, let me love you and keep falling in love with you, again and again.
END ME
Yearning for water in the desert,
Running miles for it, soaked with sweat, dead with hunger,
Yearning for water in the desert,
Walking miles, only to see nothing, but a mirage.
Evoking passion for you deep into the soul,
Fulfilling that passion, with dread, joy, and love,
Evoking passion for you deep into the soul,
Running, chasing, you, only to find nothing, but a mirage of you.
Your beauty burns through me,
Pops out my veins and there boils all the desires, Your elegance cools off me, makes the heaviest of anger go away,
You burn inside me, and I burn with you.
Still, chasing you, with passion,
Running with thirst, Walking miles in hunger, I end up in the middle of nowhere,
Only to find, Nothing, but a mirage.
Quench me off this thirst,
Fill my desires, pop open my veins,
Let my body bleed with your love, your desires, your passion,
For I am tired, chasing your mirage,
Rip me off my desires, shed my love, and, end me.
YOUR HOSTAGE
Delicate as the glass shatters and pokes in the skin,
Breaks away every form of old memory,
That is what you've done to me.
All thought erased from memory,
All love and hatred erased,
Only left inside is SILENCE and YOU,
That is what you've done to me.
I was a happy man, living a happy life,
I was a dreamy, guy living a dreamy life,
Now, I am stuck under
