Lightingale
How come you're so indifferent?
My opinions sting my noggin with discontent
Don't you ever feel overwhelmed with the songs on the radio?
Well, no words can describe this feeling I feel...yeah nobody will know
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
Oh, I see a Glimpse of you in the cracked mirror before me...
A glimpse of the angelic, sly, gracious evermore...her...I clearly see her beauty
Her yellow shadow blends in with my blue hue
She helped me find my other missing shoe
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
Out of the Orange,
She saw me rearrange
The photographs of her and I in bliss town
We were wearing that familiar upside down frown
And the crown cleverly crafted on our head...our shimmering souls shown
Never unknown...You were gone when I was alone
Until you began answering the phone
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
You're always on my mind...on my mind...
Oh, now it's only you and I...I'm pretty sure you're my fantastic find
We will be together forever...I won't leave you behind
Just let time unwind for a time and stay with me for eternity if you don't mind...the sun has already shined and the coal is already mined
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
Oh how priceless you are You are bramazing - what can I say?
Have I been led astray?
Am I okay? Okay...
Maybe I've gone heads over flipflops over you, but that was yesterday
Hey, don't say another word
You're making me look absurd
I know I'm a foolish boy, insanely in love,
But you are my one and only Snow White dove
You got my boy hormones running wild
You can call me your wild child but I'll stay cuddly and mild
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
I am a worthless widower with a permanent scar
You are my vibrant star that I welcome night after night and day after day
Was doused in dismay, but I was born in the brink of May
By the way...
I want you to stay by my side, Angel of mine
I want to say that you're something else beyond fine
Oh lightingale, you were once from the dark
I keep hearing that songbird, that beautiful lark
You were my freedom park
My shelter, my ark
Until you devoured me like an insidious shark
Then, that's when things fell apart
It was because of us from the start
You're on the other side
You haven't heard my cry, you lied to me...now I need a cave to hide
I'm twisting and turning in this rapid ride and swallowed up in a traumatizing tide
I cried for the death of yesterday's tomorrow - your hello got goodbyed
I know I was thief that stole your heart
I was heartless, but I promise not to break you apart
I don't know what I speak of sometimes
Sometimes, I just stop and listen to the bell chimes, counting all my mindless crimes...slipping outta my pocket like rusty dimes in such poor, poor times...
Wealthy with earnest humility and extreme passion frankly
Crawling in my shell of emotions so lonely
