Fallen and Despondent
Behold, I have been so cold inside
So bold, I have been through the tide
The things you put me through
I still love you, I still love you
I have been told you have been so full of hate
My heart is crushed by apprehension as of late
And I have been told you were going ‘round the place,
Embracing lover after lover, even without a single trace
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this cruel reality
This cold-hearted fantasy in mind
Has turned my heart into dust, left behind
I’ve been a blind fool as of lately
And frankly, no one cares about me
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this horrid anxiety
This cold-hearted feeling inside me
Has turned its ugly head towards envy
Hold me close till the storm dies down
Hold my nose through the waters or I’ll drown
The shenanigans you do carelessly
I still love you, I still love you, baby
I have been told you have been so full of hate
My heart is crushed by apprehension as of late
And I have been told you were going ‘round the place,
Embracing lover after lover, even without a single trace
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this cruel reality
This cold-hearted fantasy in mind
Has turned my heart into dust, left behind
I’ve been a blind fool as of lately
And frankly, no one cares about me
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this horrid anxiety
This cold-hearted feeling inside me
Has turned its ugly head towards envy
I have been compassionate to you, yes, this is true
You give me heartless rejection like you always do
Bring me to life, for death inside has cradled me close
Zip out the strife, for peace will prevail eventually, who knows
I have been told you have been so full of hate
My heart is crushed by apprehension as of late
And I have been told you were going ‘round the place,
Embracing lover after lover, even without a single trace
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this cruel reality
This cold-hearted fantasy in mind
Has turned my heart into dust, left behind
I’ve been a blind fool as of lately
And frankly, no one cares about me
Set me free from despondency
Set me free from this horrid anxiety
This cold-hearted feeling inside me
Has turned its ugly head towards envy
Set me free from despondency
Set me free...set me free...set me free...
Possibly, you told me I was cold as ice
Now, you are considered my living sacrifice
But, behold, I feel bold deep down inside my numb cranium
What about you save me from what I have become...become...
Been through so many tides
Been through my bipolar rides
Wish you’d just set me free
Just set me free, just set me free
From despondency’s hold on me
For, I am fallen and despondent
Wishing I could be your moon, so radiant
Praying I could be your home and safe haven
Wishing I could be your sun, efflorescent
Praying I could heal you, my love so brazen
