Bundled Up In Bondage

My poverty-decaying teeth start to chatter From the cool blows of your breathing Bundled up in bondage, I’m unable to see the light in farewell Things have gotten too far between us…I can still hear the hallow drums, Beating with doubt, apprehension and disdain It’s echoing falsehoods and it’s doing us no good It’s doing us no good…putting us in a rotten mood Somehow, we have something in common – We both have shame that overflows in us… It’s been there all along… From the beginning of time, I’ve been All alone, all along! All alone, all along! Do sing a joyous song So, that I’ll feel like I belong It’s a shame that we must part soon But, cheer up, dearest – go get some rest and sing a positive song While I’ll be shining like your midnight moon ~~Chorus~~ Give me a chance to overcome These waves of emotions Understand my situation Don’t pay attention to the commotion I see you in secret, Skipping with pride and unspoiled vitality While I’m… frozen forever Livin’ this life guilt-free is impossible in my case… Save me from the contemplations, Releasing insidious lies ~~~~~~~ Your screams fail to reach my ears You won’t hear me cry aloud These tears were bottled up inside for years I just wanna scream out loud! Turn the wheel in my mind’s eye I’m overflowing with guilt and horror Don’t let the tide of terror sweep over me with woe Open wide your mouth Let me fill it in with words of pure, inviting insight, Not dread-infested remorse ~~~~~~~ It’s strange really – I had the same guilt as you, But that was a long time ago… I can barely remember When I befriended that stranger I didn’t even know it would cause All kinds of mischief and danger… That angered me to the core Yet, it told me there was still some hope in store
