Archrival

1st verse

Unless I'm holding true
if I'm not loving on cue
I cannot function
I lie here with conjunction
woe I cannot fight this
I care as do I miss you

2nd verse

I imagine this almost constant
your words I'm glued to quadrant
though at times they're cruel
I've allowed you to rule
oh I wish I didn't
I love you as a sweet fondant

Chorus

I'm constantly waiting on your arrival
we're not on the same path of survival
I can't even form a sentence
you've got me in repentance
so I'll continue longing
for you my arch-rival

Chorus (repeat)

Thank you, Silent One. Actually, I'd prefer if someone else sang it. I used to do my own demos years ago, but not anymore :)
