Get a Grip - You Got the Power

He made me float…he made me beam with glee I was once so sturdy…so robust with reverie but, now I’m a sunken ship…everything’s gone unfortunately Sponging in misery that I thought has disappeared into the reckless sea Oooh…I must get a grip Get a grip, man… Oooh…I must take a dip Take a dip into warmer waters I don’t know what…I don’t know what to think anymore Without you warming me up like a blanket, I’m basking with bitter regret Oooh…I must get a grip Get a grip, man… Don’t be a downer…(get a grip) Don’t imitate me or you’ll end up like a loner I’m a lonesome ghost…(I need you to take things in your own hands...you got the power!) Hopeless in love…Our love is sour on a very unsettling hour Trying to find friendship (on another level no doubt), Overflowing with love…(something to marvel about) I gottah get a grip someday! (Get a grip) x3 Love is so overrated… God’s love is so underrated Worldly love is overstated And I’ve waited for true love… But my time was wasted ~~~Chorus~~~ I don’t know what to think of this Might as well…might as well slip into the abyss Kiss tragedy and wave a farewell I miss you already…I’m under your wicked spell… Oh well…I’m a boy and a loner, Hopeless in love So hopeless in love Dealing with so much pain Dripping continually like acid rain Dealing with extreme separation anxiety Ripping apart your ribcage, so I can be set free So I can crawl out of captivity Look at me… Just look at me for a second or two! Have you any empathy? I see your eyes, soaking with tears, so blue Don’t be a downer…(get a grip) Don’t imitate me or you’ll end up like a loner You’re a mind-blower! You got the power! ~~~~~~

Doesn't appear as though you've wasted any love or inspiration despite this mysterious denial or seperation David. I can relate to these sentiments, and you give great emotion and poetry to genuine heartache. Heartache is marvelous in its own right isnt it. You are obviously living the purpose of Love. This is edifying Art. "Kiss tragedy, wave farewell..." This is very visceral for me. J.A.B.
