My Craves
Desperation travels my marrows,
still breath stealing all my tomorrows
the blessing of your love I couldn't show
whirling and coiling me up like tornadoes
dispirited in my shadow
come save me now, I cry a billion folds
if you see my face again, you wouldn't know
to where have gone all of my rainbows.
This place is not a home,
no colours in my world,
if there’s one place I know,
it wouldn't lead me home
goodbye to all my folks
I’m so frail and cold
the more I try to hold,
my breath goes so slow
I wouldn't know,
I wouldn't know,
I wouldn't know...
if I could see you once more.
Desperation travels my marrows,
so shameful; I still dwell in underworld
and myself I can’t find in the mirror
the silent voice from an underdog,
screams "free my soul" in muted mode
it’s hard to die or to live, now I know
still in continuous run from my shadow.
This fate is from above?
I want to know
I, I, I want to know
This heavy load
bends me low
ooh, presses me low!
will I be freed of this woe;
of the wasteful life that I behold?
I, I, I want to know
What are these addles
and muddled riddles?
I wouldn't know,
I, I, I wouldn't know
If I could love you once more?
Desperation travels my marrows
it so hurts, please let me go
I want to go, oh, oh let me go
to find my shadow from below
this way, that way in a circle
in a lifetime rigmarole
and I think there’s no way to go
