Turn the Wheel
I’ve figured out that I’ve been lying to myself
Leaving all of my worries in the top shelf
The thud in my heart – it isn’t that reassuring
Don’t inhale the flames in your burning heart…
Or you’ll hurt yourself
Don’t come across the icky fumes of fire-feeding lies
Your gaze locks into my own –
I’m still subject to your suffering
I’m slowly dying…though I’ll keep trying
Absolutely no one in the world can stop me from subsiding
You have a beautiful soul,
At first glance, I noticed your angelic features,
Decorated eloquently in your affectionate eyes
Do you abide with the peace-abiding angels?
You are more precious than posh, rare jewels . . .
~~Chorus~~
Give me a chance to overcome
These waves of emotions
Understand my situation
Don’t pay attention to the commotion
I see you in secret,
Skipping with pride and unspoiled vitality
While I’m… frozen forever
Livin’ this life guilt-free is impossible in my case…
Save me from the monsters, spewing out sinister lies
~~~~~~~
Your screams fail to reach my ears
You won’t hear me cry aloud
These tears were bottled up inside for years
I just wanna scream out loud!
Turn the wheel in my mind’s eye – I’m overflowing with guilt and horror –
Don’t let the tide of terror sweep over me with woe
Open wide your mouth
Let me fill it in with words of pure, inviting insight,
Not distasteful remorse
