don’t tear me apart anymore

Dedicated to Adele’s Hello song…

Hurts to be left in the dust
It’s a must to let go of lust
You are on the other side,
Screaming silently with pride
Healing with God’s timing alone, God’s timing alone
Everything is tearing apart at the seams
And I begin to scream in the lightning beams
I’m roaming on this street of loneliness on my own 

We’re broken, unspoken, and smokin’ mad like the lions in the lion den
We’re chokin’, scarred with zenless chaoticness, strokin’ the guitar strings of back-then, back-then, back-then

Don’t tear me apart anymore
No more sorrow from now on
Yesterday is gone, say no more
No more tomorrows before the dawn
You’re the one I simply adore
To the deepest crevice-of-a-core
Don’t be a bore, for you’re more nervouscited 
Than the writings of Poe — you’re so frightened…
Because, although you weren’t with me, you want to tear me to bits
You’re throwing your fits…you’re kneeling down, bloodied and ashamed on grits

Positively sure you’ll make it through 
I’m sorry that you were caught blue
In the darkest of hours, hours, hours and then, we make our brave wave, for you are the mirth to my nickname — Dave
I lost my super hero powers and poured forth crimson flowers upon your graceless grave…save me, save me, save, save, save

We’re broken, unspoken, and smokin’ mad like the lions in the lion den
We’re chokin’, scarred with zenless chaoticness, strokin’ the guitar strings of back-then, back-then, back-then

Don’t tear me apart anymore
No more sorrow from now on
Yesterday is gone, say no more
No more tomorrows before the dawn
You’re the one I simply adore
To the deepest crevice-of-a-core
Don’t be a bore, for you’re more nervouscited 
Than the writings of Poe — you’re so frightened…
Because, although you weren’t with me, you want to tear me to bits
You’re throwing your fits…you’re kneeling down, bloodied and ashamed on grits

Bizarre you cannot understand, understand 
My twist of the English language
You languish in anguish and you’re in good hands
You are now debris under the bridge
Forgotten and rotten — I feel deep down 
Trampled above the mountainous heights of California, dreaming with a frown
Keep it a secret that I’ve fallen so short 
So low, so cold, so heartlessly…escort
Me out of this depression I’m in…
Abort the temptations from my sin
Hoard away the mindset of upsetting suicide
Typically, this day couldn’t be better without you abiding by my side, oh Lord of Accord — yes, to you, in prayer, I cried…

We’re broken, unspoken, and smokin’ mad like the lions in the lion den
We’re chokin’, scarred with zenless chaoticness, strokin’ the guitar strings of back-then, back-then, back-then

Don’t tear me apart anymore
No more sorrow from now on
Yesterday is gone, say no more
No more tomorrows before the dawn
You’re the one I simply adore
To the deepest crevice-of-a-core
Don’t be a bore, for you’re more nervouscited 
Than the writings of Poe — you’re so frightened…
Because, although you weren’t with me, you want to tear me to bits
You’re throwing your fits…you’re kneeling down, bloodied and ashamed on grits

Don’t you dare tear me apart
Don’t you tear me apart anymore
Won’t you save me from my demise?
Don’t seek me — I’m not wise, wise
In my oceanic, universe eyes,
I see no lies in your alibis…your cries show that you care that our time slowly flies and dries…like a leaf, briefly withering away in the heat of summer 
It’s a bummer, we’re all getting a little more dumber,
Yet more smarter by the minute…
I love your adoration that I want to get
I long for your legit wit, legit wit, wit, wit

Don’t you dare tear me apart
Don’t you tear me apart anymore

Don’t you dare tear me apart
Don’t you tear me apart anymore

Don’t you dare tear me apart when I diminish
Don’t you tear me apart from the start to finish

End me
To begin you
