Turn the Wheel

I’ve figured out that I’ve been lying to myself Leaving all of my worries in the top shelf The thud in my heart – it isn’t that reassuring Don’t inhale the flames in your burning heart… Or you’ll hurt yourself Don’t come across the icky fumes of fire-feeding lies Your gaze locks into my own – I’m still subject to your suffering I’m slowly dying…though I’ll keep trying Absolutely no one in the world can stop me from subsiding You have a beautiful soul, At first glance, I noticed your angelic features, Decorated eloquently in your affectionate eyes Do you abide with the peace-abiding angels? You are more precious than posh, rare jewels . . . ~~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 monsters, spewing out sinister 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 distasteful remorse
