I Can'T Write
So full of emotions,
But I can't write
Orchestrated temptations
Now my heart doesn't beat right
I thought strength wins against temptations
But pain chokes
The spirit breaks
Lessons from old folks
In me the king of fools wakes
Tears dries quick
Mind and heart misled
My love you forgot so quick
Heart bleeds as it once bled
Suicidal thoughts
Slipping on reality courts
My all not good enough
Walking straight and narrow
Your faith not strong enough
Dipped and shamed in sorrow
Words hard to utter
Fluent in lies,
In truth you stutter
I break easily
Love strong and hard
Promises broken easily
Love resides deep beneath the reefs of my heart
Ferocious, lies stings
Rare things and nice things
Brutal
Tongue of a broken promise stinks
What is meant to be will be
And what is meant to be let it be
'Cause life is not always a metaphor
Sweet lies we always have been waited for
Arena of sugar coated reality
Heart building a pyramid of guilt
Mystery of iniquity
Reality of immorality
Your eyes windows to the truth you hide
Guilt and shame on high tides
Quest to surf the ocean of truth
Breaking the branch and the root
Of what caused us to lie
And caused us to die...
In silence
Our words becomes silent
So full of emotions
But I can't write
Heavy on emotions
But I can't fight
I never said a word
But my heart is not silent
Lost our ways
But the pendulum of karma swings both ways
