The Back Burner

I heard you calling my name in an echoing whisper 
I saw a bird take wing in the whirling wind of disaster 
I put my weary head on your broad shoulders
The moment we touched, I was broken boulders
I thought I was latching on to someone so trustworthy and positive
I assume you don't wanna resume with this relationship that made a wrong turn...
I believe in love, but it has made me weak inside...as a result, it's fairly negative 
I bloom like a lily in spring in the pond of rain pain, still feeling rejection's burn and the ocean's emotions churn 
When is it my turn to shine on 
Like the break of dawn?
The break of dawn is soon to be gone for good and this ominous sadness goes on and on and on 

I was le-e-eft in the back burner in ancient times 
I was astonished to hear the clever clock chimes 
I was alarmed by your sudden departure
You were gone out of my life forever...and ever...
I was messed with several times here and there
There you go again, piling up in my mind...
Feeling tattered and threadbare 
Threatened by your tone of voice...a gold I cannot find, 
A-a-and I've tried to search for you...the smoke making me blind 

Oooooh mmmm x3

I did more harm than good
I guess I ain't good blood...
Sick and tired of being misunderstood...
You turned me off, snapping off the morning wood...
Not really in the greatest mood...
Set me free from your solitude that has made my barriers so much harder to fight off
Upsetting me...don't stop resenting the evil deeds of mankind's society, you and I had enough! 
Life is getting too tough...
Being in my skin is rough...
I wasn't thinking straight
I couldn't help but hesitate 
Am I too late to change?
I need to turn around and count my change and find time to rearrange 

I was le-e-eft in the back burner in ancient times 
I was astonished to hear the clever clock chimes 
I was alarmed by your sudden departure
You were gone out of my life forever...and ever...
I was messed with several times here and there
There you go again, piling up in my mind...
Feeling tattered and threadbare 
Threatened by your tone of voice...a gold I cannot find, 
A-a-and I've tried to search for you...the smoke making me blind 

Oooooh mmmm x3

Oh bless my soul that's been split in two 
Although I loved you so, can't stop remembering what you do...
What you did to me and the things you put me through, you know?
You let the Shame show
Rumor is spreading aglow
You didn't even blow...
My mind with your blessings that you bestow
I'm shapeless like an octopus in the sea
I'm relentless like the lion in hunting mode
I'm restless like the owl in the night of vibrancy 
You punched in the code to bring me back to my one and only admirable abode...hold up, let me sing you this ode...from my hound heart, 
Wisdom from the old 
Left untold, but I am bold
I am shivering, for it's too cold
For you to say that your heart's already sold
To another guy that can hold in so much pressure and can carry a large load

 I was le-e-eft in the back burner in ancient times 
I was astonished to hear the clever clock chimes 
I was alarmed by your sudden departure
You were gone out of my life forever...and ever...
I was messed with several times here and there
There you go again, piling up in my mind...
Feeling tattered and threadbare 
Threatened by your tone of voice...a gold I cannot find, 
A-a-and I've tried to search for you...the smoke making me blind 

Oooooh mmmm x3

The world of woe
Is calling your name 
It would like to know 
If you should take the blame 
Shame...on you...
You left me in the back burner 
The actions that you do
The words were hot as a heater 
The past shan't be undo 
I wish you well in your future journeys
I wish you luck to catch the blessed breeze
Praying for you to have peace of mind
We're only human and we're awfully blind, but He doesn't mind 
One bit I suppose
Our time is coming to a close
You are a rose that sprouts words of prose
You are beautiful and I particular adore your nose
Tell me if you need me
If you want me badly
Xoxo me all over
Oxox me till it's over
I was a bit of a loner
But now, I have a social ***** 
Don't say it's all over
Because you are the weeds and I the clover
Pull them out and dig deep in the roots
Then, you'll clearly see the filth that I shook off my cowboy boots 

I was le-e-eft in the back burner in ancient times 
I was astonished to hear the clever clock chimes 
I was alarmed by your sudden departure
You were gone out of my life forever...and ever...
I was messed with several times here and there
There you go again, piling up in my mind...
Feeling tattered and threadbare 
Threatened by your tone of voice...a gold I cannot find, 
A-a-and I've tried to search for you...the smoke making me blind 

Oooooh mmmm x3

Have you no shame?
Have you no shame at all...
Hunting me down like game
You ignored my call...my xoxo call...
End the lullabies of lamentation 
Mend the heart that's torn apart
Don't offend me or I'll be raped by frustration 
Send me more than enough of your love...my finest, most precious...gracious art 
I see that you aren't impressed with me
My feelings I expressed aren't important, I see?
Amaze me 
Flare my soul
My only plea 
Is to bang at my skull
With your sensational bliss
That will wipe away all loneliness 
To the bottom to the top,
Don't stop touching me, oh please don't stop till I produce fruit like a crop 
I am like a shoe-shop, you have the option to shop and drop before you get caught by the cop 

I was le-e-eft in the back burner in ancient times 
I was astonished to hear the clever clock chimes 
I was alarmed by your sudden departure
You were gone out of my life forever...and ever...
I was messed with several times here and there
There you go again, piling up in my mind...
Feeling tattered and threadbare 
Threatened by your tone of voice...a gold I cannot find, 
A-a-and I've tried to search for you...the smoke making me blind 

Oooooh mmmm x3

Shooting me down while I gathered up
Head in the dumps, but feet in the sky
Giving up after giving in to failure...served to me in a wine cup
My foolish brain spins around in circles and I don't know why
I even try 
I even try
