Staring Into Space

No one knows about me here,
Alone with me, myself and I –
I have no urge to cry
No one knows what I feel…
I feel hope and no fear
Making a little effort to belong…
No, I’m not that shy…

Silence slithers into my skin…
But I am calm and reserved
I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas
Staring onto space…
Accepting this disgrace
Embrace the beauty of grace
I’m left with a trace of your angelic face
Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold
All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold

Echoes of the past reminiscences reach my ears 
Please be kind to a forlorn individual
I’m as dry as a raisin and I’m reduced to these useless tears for years
Don’t pick a fight with me – I’m not willing to win the dual…

Silence slithers into my skin…
But I am calm and reserved
I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas
Staring onto space…
Accepting this disgrace
Embrace the beauty of grace
I’m left with a trace of your angelic face
Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold
All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold

You hurt me in the process
Numb the distress
Ruined by pangs of darkness
Your diamond necklace shines in the sun
But, my work will not be done
The journey of our lives has just begun

Silence slithers into my skin…
But I am calm and reserved
I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas
Staring onto space…
Accepting this disgrace
Embrace the beauty of grace
I’m left with a trace of your angelic face
Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold
All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold

Staring into space, imagining racing horses,
Trampling down the sorrow of yesterday’s tomorrow
Falling behind without a smear of gladness
In the reflection of my eyes of oceans and spaces…
Leaving it without a trace...forgetting to tie my shoelaces

Silence slithers into my skin…
But I am calm and reserved
I didn’t deserve all of these unfortunate dilemmas
Staring onto space…
Accepting this disgrace
Embrace the beauty of grace
I’m left with a trace of your angelic face
Empathy be to me, for I am fatigued and cold
All of the sudden, feeling extremely cold

Silence has abandoned me
I’m like an orphan that weeps bitterly
Staring into space…space…space…
Prayin for God’s everlasting grace…
Trying to keep pace on this treacherous race
