Azizam
Azizam
I await the fall
The cool air
To seduce my skin
I await the kiss
Of your fall
The tumbling
Of your heart
Azizam
The world is tumbling down
Crumbling upon the ground
Like castles in ruins
Madness all around
The cruel, ole town
People running around
Like savages
I'm trapped in this place
Stuck longing for something
That I can't understand
Ah, Azizam
My words are so useless, really
As I write this to you now
But I'm a slave to them
Sweating to make sense
Of their wicked ways
Azizam, how can you say there is nothing?
I must have faith, I must
That there is
A love above me
All around me
And within me
That keeps me alive
We both know
I should be dead
Despite the devilish dirtiness
That I wear like a cloak
This love whispers
Sweet everythings in my ear
For sweet nothings
I've heard a thousand times
Especially from you, Azizam
But this love murmurs
Truth in my listening drum
I know I'm in quicksand
With my sins
And this love has a way
To pull me out
This love
Calls me Azizam
I've tried to be as hard as nails
As tough as a warrior
I end up being the one
Nailed to the wood
Cut up all over my body
Losing the battle
I cannot bear another storm
To rage inside of me
The axiom
Of anxiety
That you seem to bring
Azizam
My heart
Is like a cage
Of monstrous butterflies
I don't dare
To unleash them
What chaos that would be
But no matter what
The moon has her eye on me
She thinks that she's my mother
She calls me Azizam
And tells me
It's going to be alright
