Azizam

Azizam I await the fall The cool air To seduce my skin I await the kiss Of your fall The tumbling Of your heart Azizam The world is tumbling down Crumbling upon the ground Like castles in ruins Madness all around The cruel, ole town People running around Like savages I'm trapped in this place Stuck longing for something That I can't understand  Ah, Azizam My words are so useless, really As I write this to you now But I'm a slave to them Sweating to make sense Of their wicked ways Azizam, how can you say there is nothing? I must have faith, I must That there is A love above me All around me And within me That keeps me alive We both know I should be dead Despite the devilish dirtiness That I wear like a cloak This love whispers Sweet everythings in my ear For sweet nothings I've heard a thousand times Especially from you, Azizam But this love murmurs  Truth in my listening drum I know I'm in quicksand With my sins And this love has a way To pull me out This love  Calls me Azizam I've tried to be as hard as nails As tough as a warrior I end up being the one Nailed to the wood Cut up all over my body Losing the battle I cannot bear another storm To rage inside of me The axiom  Of anxiety That you seem to bring Azizam My heart  Is like a cage Of monstrous butterflies I don't dare To unleash them What chaos that would be But no matter what  The moon has her eye on me She thinks that she's my mother She calls me Azizam  And tells me It's going to be alright
