The Depths of Red
Night unfolds, her arms around me
The killing choke of loneliness...
The silent breeze of longing, easily
escapes the high solid walls of a
tormented heart.
And why do I ask for something I can
never have?
The sight of beauty, it deceives me.
A moment of happiness turns to agony.
Please, slap me back to my reality.
I am free to speak whenever I am away.
Free to dance to the music of one's desires.
Every single night I fight a losing battle
within...
And when the storm clears, only the remnants
of my painful past remains.
Feed me with my own lies!
"She is my queen and I am her king."
I know i am losing my sanity!
I learned to breathe this deadly air,
just for a moment... to be with you...
I have risked eternity.
Beg for a new day.
To wake up one day, a different man
with a different heart.
A heart that doesn't screams your name.
A heart that doesn't bleed for no one.
A numb, solid heart, to feel no more.
To wake up one day, and never knew love.
To spare me the pain of not having you...
Tomorrow, I will die once more.
