Echo Your Empathy
You’re my star – I set fire to our firey rose
Bouquet of stars – I hand to you –
We’re opposites, like poetry and prose
You came out of the blue, I’m left without a clue!
It all came so soon – the package of surprises
All along, you were echoing your leave
Anybody out there to help me? Hello? I can’t hear your echo
Your echo is what keeps me on my feet
I’m a believer…I’m getting discreet
Around and round and round,
We’re going round in circles
We’re doing freestyle singing
Swinging side by side…back and forth,
Our fate keeps on swinging…
Who will fill in the gaps?
I never saw the light in goodbye…
I’m caving in my ruins…I’m caving in my ruins
I admit it – I can’t live without you,
Lingering around me like a fly, enchanted by the lightbulb
What am I supposed to do with this work of art?
I’ve stumbled upon you and fell in love with you
But, I’m lost in paradise – dropping levels – there’s mistakes we can’t undo
There’s no perfect peace with the world falling at the seams, kissing the debris,
Screwing with my head…you won’t ever see a trace of tears on my face – I’m left to be
All alone, all along…but without you, I’m stranded in the wilderness…
Giving me night-scares instead of dreams of reality
I can’t hear your echo of empathy…I can hear chaos unraveling;
I can hear the commotion of the ocean
Falling victim to bittersweet emotion
I can’t hear your echo of empathy…I can barely make out any hope in store
I miss living my dream! I keep tell you that! – and all you do is ignore
I’m on edge and I get upset and cry my eyes out
No one can love this monster, but I won’t accept such foolishness
I strayed from my heart’s passion and I got all the symptoms
Of a guy with a solitary, silver soul….you stole my dignity
My pride, my surreal sensations, my innocence
Don’t dismiss me as nonsense
Echo your empathy…
I’m brokenhearted, but I won’t reveal it to you – you never felt for me
So, don’t even bother to ask me why I’m crying?
’Cause I’ll never give you the full truth
Almost all my life,
I’ve been searching for the woman I love…and to find my heart’s tune
But, love didn’t seem like enough – good luck will shower upon me soon
You and I will view the astounding full moon…
Find your way out of the maze of bewilderment
I’m treading this rocky road with or without you – I can’t stand tall
You are playing games with me, nourishing my resentment
I’m swimming home – underneath the surface, feeling oh so blue
Feeling the rejection…the jaded corruption banging at my skull
I heard you screaming out my name
Are you echoing your praise to me?
Are you covering up my shame?
Are you echoing my empathy?
Echo your empathy… my delightful dolphin in the sea
I’m screaming at the top of my lungs
When I close my eyes, everything seems so fine
Is my love good enough for you?
I can hear you echo your empathy
My voice is fading and dying out, but you’re my baby…
My darling angelic friend of mine
Our friendship mixed with love is as succulent as wine
Listen to my echoes of my appreciation towards you
I could make out your echo of empathy
Echo your empathy of ecstasy!
Give me your all…whisper in my ears
I’ve been lost for many-a-years
Come out of your black hole and resuce from my demise
Echo your empathy upon me if can be so kind and wise
Pursue our zealous goals and we’ll echo our triumph
I don’t wanna bleed without you
I don’t wanna breathe without you
I wanna see your face, glistening with grace
Gleaming with grace and I feel like I can beat this race
I feel so alive for the first time in a lifetime
For the first time in forever, you make me feel happy and oh so sublime
Our exaltation is beyond amazing… I can’t get yah out of my head
You’re my lullaby – I set fire to the pitch-black sky and I ascend so wondrously
The firey rose – I give it to you – it’s a gift that’s articulate and almost flawless
You blossomed like a precious rose in the Garden of Glory
We’re opposites, like black and white, but you and I will never kiss the abyss
Echo your empathy…my munificent maid! You’ve grown so much, miss!
I can’t put my mind to bed…it’s racing with thoughts of you always and forever
It’s racing with thoughts, blooming so true
Echo your words of wisdom and hide not in shadows anymore (your hope’s a blur) –
Come out of your shell and stop being so insecure
Echo your empathy and you’ll be part of my crew
