From Grime To Shine
My heart is glimmering glass,
Shattered in your hands
Our love grew like green grass…
On many terrestrial lands
I am a diamond of imperfection…prone to rejection…
Make me whole and beautiful
Because I’ve been an empty soul
A worthless, worn-out bowl…
Or dust from overheated coal
Sorry if I made you embrace my lack of affection
My heart is eternal burning fire within
My brain is whirling like a tornado
Your hatred's a hurricane, yet so thin
Still waiting to figure out your glow
Gloomy weather, yet so hectic out here
Our relationship, too much venom, my dear
You’re a needle, puncturing my veins of what’s left of me
You’re so unstable like a broken table for about a century
I’m screaming this time…this time…
Cleaned up the grime off the shiny dime
Of our lives…of our meaningful, extraordinary lives…
Seeing if happiness arrives…tragedy is a thousand knives
My heart is a beating drum,
In sync with your tune of gloom
I still hear solitude's quiet hum
There’s room for another bloom
Bloom in the dim afternoon in this turquoise room…
Where there’s no such thing as the company of doom
Who knows what the future may or may not hold
Our young hearts, alone or together, are oh so cold
I want to be bold and not afraid of the darkness before me
I need your forgiveness to set us all free with pure liberty
You’re certainly nice to let me have my space…you do care!
I fought these wars of depression and loneliness for so long
I got the strength, cheer and motivation to move on all along
I was wrong about you and there are things I said I can’t undo
Understand It’s not you, It’s me that made you unhappy too
Put our fears in the tomb of the past and leave it there…
We’ve been through tribulations beyond realization and relief
We’ve almost made it to the finish line, so wipe away the grief
Believe…all you got to do is believe…
Wipe off the grime…the grime from your sleeve…
Grieve…no more…
Share happiness galore…
Relieve the stress…honor success
Make us witness a trace of progress
Let us not feel this emptiness
So, let us feel far from uselessness
Wipe away the grime from your muse
It’s an emotional trauma or a mental abuse
Be rid of it…I’ll take care of it bit by bit
With my ambitious wit that you so want to get
We did our share of downfalls in our relationship
I need to get a grip and send these sorrows to yesterday’s long-lost grave
I’m sorry, our love and plenty is a shattered ship
We are sinking down under the surface of serenity that made us so brave
Renew my rather radiant, regretless remedy of rapid release…
It grew into a masterpiece of lovely paradise that aims to please
You fade into the air
Of fragmented despair
Where are you now?
You’ve been lost somehow
Growing very tired of the anxiety that chases away childlike confidence
Showing you that I love you wholeheartedly is difficult like repentance
Shine shamelessly, soaring shore…
Ignore the negativity and feed upon positivity some more
There, you’ll find passion and peace that you adore
What are you and I waiting for? Waiting for?
This dilemma we’re in hits me hard to the core…to the deepest core…
But, we will get through this together and defeat this difficult war
Never forget you are unforgotten…your beauty, never rotten
Even if you feel trapped in the ribcage of rage and frustration
I shout carelessly and recklessly in the middle of nowhere as I roam towards my home, out of breath
I hear my echoes grow softer and softer as my heavy breathing becomes inevitable, much like death
Pull out the weeds of distraction
Let’s overflow with sheer satisfaction
Let our love grow like grass in the field of faithfulness
Let our hope glow like glass, reflecting the sun of gladness
Now, I observe my flawless features come to life…
This time, yes, this time, you will erase the strife
You could be a diamond, so delicate and precious
I could even be that as well…glory to God Most Gracious!
