Taking Over Me

In this desolate room, I feel this endless gloom Taking over me. . . Taking over me. . . Making my bones rattle in shock Making several crackling sounds . . . The time is ticking fast I need to taste hope again This time, I will not give up Neither will I toil in grief I’m seeking permanent relief I keep spinnin’ around the place, Searching for ways to beat this race Just to see your face See your face (chorus) Sometimes, I wait here…on my own, Yearning for some significance Sometimes, I feel like my mind’s blown Churning. . . twisting. . . contorting. . . In a wild whirlpool… What happened to my existence? Am I of any importance? It must be gravity taking a toll on me Something’s missing possibly. . . It must be me pretending that I don’t see The brighter side of things But, the abyss is…… Taking over me. . . Taking over me. . . Swallowing me like a terrible tide ~ ~ ~ I feel this overwhelming tension Taking over me. . . Taking over me. . . I look up to you willingly Something’s haunting me… Something’s making me feel so Disheartened Pardon me, I need some space Excuse me for a moment or two… Let me gain back my pure grace Just to see your face See your face (chorus) Sometimes, I wait here…on my own, Yearning for some significance Sometimes, I feel like my mind’s blown Churning. . . twisting. . . contorting. . . In a wild whirlpool… What happened to my existence? I sense that there’s gonna be a storm at this very minute It must be the thunder taking a toll on me Something’s tearing me apart, Making me sink down… To my lowest state of mind It must be me pretending that I don’t see The optimistic road ahead But, the abyss is…… Taking over me. . . Taking over me. . . Swallowing me like a gigantic tide ~ ~ ~ Can you feel my anxiety Taking over me? Taking advantage of me? Making me subside from the Pathway of Prosperity? I feel like an Outcast That loneliness shaking me up Is taking over me… Taking over me… (chorus) Sometimes, I sleep here in solitude, Wonderin’ if someone out there will save me Save me…save me…set me free… From this abominable dwelling place called Shame Sometimes, I feel that everything’s out of my reach and I’m left to be Taken over by my utter despair and catastrophe… If I’m here alone with me, I’ll find a way to flee… Flee to safety… I’m shedding tears of frustration Please understand this pain that burns immensely Deep inside of me forever it seems Inside of me...not mending my broken dreams Taking over me… Don’t underestimate it… Or it will track you down someday… It will prey upon you someday Do you even notice me from afar? Do you hear my plea? My plea for your love To get me out of this desolate room I’m overflowing with disdainful gloom. . . Rescue my heart from these tears… These tears . . .

David, this is a song of despair, but there seems to be some hope here. I wonder how you come up with these lines? If you fee this way, I am hopeful that you will find meaningful companionship and friendship. Personally, I would ask you out, (but I am married and taken). So, we still can be friends and comment on each other's lines. You have so much going for you, I sincerely wish that you feel no shame for any of your thoughts and feelings. Being a male and young in this society is tough.
