Staring Into Space

No one knows about me here, Alone with me, myself and I – I have no urge to cry No one knows what I feel… I feel hope and no fear Making a little effort to belong… No, I’m not that shy… Silence slithers into my skin… But I am calm and reserved I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas Staring onto space… Accepting this disgrace Embrace the beauty of grace I’m left with a trace of your angelic face Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold Echoes of the past reminiscences reach my ears Please be kind to a forlorn individual I’m as dry as a raisin and I’m reduced to these useless tears for years Don’t pick a fight with me – I’m not willing to win the dual… Silence slithers into my skin… But I am calm and reserved I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas Staring onto space… Accepting this disgrace Embrace the beauty of grace I’m left with a trace of your angelic face Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold You hurt me in the process Numb the distress Ruined by pangs of darkness Your diamond necklace shines in the sun But, my work will not be done The journey of our lives has just begun Silence slithers into my skin… But I am calm and reserved I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas Staring onto space… Accepting this disgrace Embrace the beauty of grace I’m left with a trace of your angelic face Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold Staring into space, imagining racing horses, Trampling down the sorrow of yesterday’s tomorrow Falling behind without a smear of gladness In the reflection of my eyes of oceans and spaces… Leaving it without a trace...forgetting to tie my shoelaces Silence slithers into my skin… But I am calm and reserved I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas Staring onto space… Accepting this disgrace Embrace the beauty of grace I’m left with a trace of your angelic face Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold Silence has abandoned me I’m like an orphan that weeps bitterly Staring into space…space…space… Prayin for God’s everlasting grace… Trying to keep pace on this treacherous race
