Taking Over Me
In this desolate room,
I feel this endless gloom
Taking over me. . .
Taking over me. . .
Making my bones rattle in shock
Making several crackling sounds . . .
The time is ticking fast
I need to taste hope again
This time,
I will not give up
Neither will I toil in grief
I’m seeking permanent relief
I keep spinnin’ around the place,
Searching for ways to beat this race
Just to see your face
See your face
(chorus)
Sometimes, I wait here…on my own,
Yearning for some significance
Sometimes, I feel like my mind’s blown
Churning. . . twisting. . . contorting. . .
In a wild whirlpool…
What happened to my existence?
Am I of any importance?
It must be gravity taking a toll on me
Something’s missing possibly. . .
It must be me pretending that I don’t see
The brighter side of things
But, the abyss is……
Taking over me. . .
Taking over me. . .
Swallowing me like a terrible tide ~ ~ ~
I feel this overwhelming tension
Taking over me. . .
Taking over me. . .
I look up to you willingly
Something’s haunting me…
Something’s making me feel so
Disheartened
Pardon me,
I need some space
Excuse me for a moment or two…
Let me gain back my pure grace
Just to see your face
See your face
(chorus)
Sometimes, I wait here…on my own,
Yearning for some significance
Sometimes, I feel like my mind’s blown
Churning. . . twisting. . . contorting. . .
In a wild whirlpool…
What happened to my existence?
I sense that there’s gonna be a storm at this very minute
It must be the thunder taking a toll on me
Something’s tearing me apart,
Making me sink down…
To my lowest state of mind
It must be me pretending that I don’t see
The optimistic road ahead
But, the abyss is……
Taking over me. . .
Taking over me. . .
Swallowing me like a gigantic tide ~ ~ ~
Can you feel my anxiety
Taking over me?
Taking advantage of me?
Making me subside from the Pathway of Prosperity?
I feel like an Outcast
That loneliness shaking me up
Is taking over me…
Taking over me…
(chorus)
Sometimes, I sleep here in solitude,
Wonderin’ if someone out there will save me
Save me…save me…set me free…
From this abominable dwelling place called Shame
Sometimes, I feel that everything’s out of my reach and I’m left to be
Taken over by my utter despair and catastrophe…
If I’m here alone with me,
I’ll find a way to flee…
Flee to safety…
I’m shedding tears of frustration
Please understand this pain that burns immensely
Deep inside of me forever it seems
Inside of me...not mending my broken dreams
Taking over me…
Don’t underestimate it…
Or it will track you down someday…
It will prey upon you someday
Do you even notice me from afar?
Do you hear my plea?
My plea for your love
To get me out of this desolate room
I’m overflowing with disdainful gloom. . .
Rescue my heart from these tears…
These tears
