Sick of Sorrow: Under Pressure
I want to be relieved
I have already grieved
Show me Your serenity please
You swayed me next to you, being at ease
Show me Your prosperous peace
I have already grieved
I long to be relieved
However, our love –
Long story short…
I keep on thinking of
You falling short
I'm your last resort
I haven’t received your gratitude
You still give me that bad attitude
Come shine, come fly
Dove of might and flight
Be mine, can't deny
Your beating heart of fright
Under pressure…
Sick of sorrow now…I wipe off the sweat from my brow
I must…oh I must endure
I have a feeling of sheer faithfulness inside somehow
Was I immensely deceived?
Lust is what I conceived…
I am far from relief
From this abominable grief
Sorrow wasn’t meant for tomorrow –
That is what I admit
I am a freedom-dwelling sparrow,
Flying with quick wit
I'm soaring at wing without you by my side
I longed for your liberty deep down inside
I yearned for your desire fire to scorch me aflame
From within, I burst open and I remain not the same
I'm an ember of His Kingdom
I am an overly ripened plum…
You're the golden nugget to my eyesight
You're the brazen, illuminating slit of sunlight
There is faith – no doubt about that, friend
There is hope – no depression in the end
Underneath the wreckage,
I glance at my splintered image
The tidal waves of my turmoil…that's where I toil…
Neglect never-ending negativity
Plant the seeds of happiness in the dampened soil…
Perseverance pursues peaceably
I would rather seek out radiant refuge
I'm on the edge, despite my courage
I got to love myself with a heart so huge
But that’s beyond tribulations' hedge
Am I really this dumb?
I can relate to that manipulated crumb
It's sincerely complicated
Got used to being jaded
These bittersweet emotions are but a sickly, sweet burning sage
I am an elegant swan in the lake, yet a crafty snake in the cage
Corruption came and it hunted me down like tormented game
Flames isn’t tame, darling, and I am not the only one to blame
I’ve give you almost all of me
So sick of the sorrow of calamity
I had to live through so much strife
I thrive on delight and not doubt all my life
Had enough of it in this tranquil-less chaotic life
I headed your direction and landed on your knife
You're a much-delayed sensation of ecstatic joy
You messed me up good and left me behind like a long-lost toy
Remember, you are oh so unforgotten in my fractured memory
Never underestimate my power of positivity, my dearest disdain
I suddenly heave a sigh as I gaze into a rainbow in the sky calmly
Misunderstood in the woods of my meandering mind once again
