Torn Apart

Days and days have passed no new introspection
Nothing to search for, the clock moves so slow
Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection

At times anger coursed through me like an infection
Guilt turned to blame and like a cancer it did grow
Days and days have passed no new instropection

The reasons why not found, I search every direction
Such powerful emotion and feeling, I had to let go
Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection

Hearing words like these you raised your objection
Over the time I know my patience has been low
Days and days have passed now new introspection

Facing the fading will of time there is no protection
Patience from above required, sadly I live here below
Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection

A new foundation in the midst, awaiting ********
Imprisoned by uncertainty, emotion cannot flow
Days and days have passed no new introspection
Looking into my eyes reveals an empty reflection

Love Will Tear us Apart-Joy Division

When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow.
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Then love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...
And love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal,
That we've kept through our lives.

Then love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...
And love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...

You cry out in your sleep,
All my feelings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Is it something so good,
Just can't function no more.

Then love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...
And love,
Love will tear us apart again...
Love,
Love will tear us apart again...
