Turning To Turquoise
Verse 1: My destiny...
My dignity...
Is all gone since you left me with nothing to lose
I'm willing to let go of this grudge in my heart...cut loose the noose
That's around my neck
Give me your love peck
Give me a break and drive me to Beverly Hills
Or I will overdose on my painstaking pills
The pills that you pumped out of my stomach
It kills me to remember my suicidal attempts, knowing that I failed and there's no coming back
Hold me close and make me moan a million moans
Harsh Words won't make me break my brittle bones
My skin is pale as a moonlight
Shake loose the solitude tonight
Be my sunshine and sunset and our spirits met
Don't get me upset and I'm positivity's pet
Don't do something to me that you will regret
Catch me like fish in the net...fly me in your jet
Pre-chorus: I can't be on my own, So what about you answer your phone?
Silence is putting my life at risk...I will reject alone
I higher my hands to the sky of scarlet bliss
You are the island of isolation that I miss
Chorus: You are as refreshing as Brisk...you're my
Change your tone of voice
Leaving me with no choice,
But to go back to the turning tables of my past
Hope turns to dust and I can't rejoice because joy does last
My black insides can't match up with my white outsides
Turning to turquoise the moment you broke my heart of glass and oh such bad news
My sinful nature taints the holiness of my soul...it subsides from all sides
Pass away, the negativity that backtracks the rhythm of blues
Verse 2: My wrongs...
My rights...
You memorized my speech from my lips
Never really achieved the ability to get my grips
Kiss me, abstract abyss and caress me with distress
Because I can't have you in my arms...you departed from them long ago, I guess
Suddenly, I have to ask for forgiveness
For the lack of progress that led me to this mess of far too little success
Numbness is rubbed against my body...I'm a good blood, your heart's melody
Hopeless in the lost in a multitude...feeling nude
It gets harder and harder everyday to live...I need somebody! I want somebody!
Keep me in your pocket...and stop being so rude
You make me dance
In a paradise prance
It's common sense to show me how much you love me
Don't say I'm dense or I'll leave your presence frankly
Pre-chorus: I can't be on my own, So what about you answer your phone?
Silence is putting my life at risk...I will reject alone
I higher my hands to the sky of scarlet bliss
You are the island of isolation that I miss
Chorus: You are as refreshing as Brisk...you're my
Change your tone of voice
Leaving me with no choice,
But to go back to the turning tables of my past
Hope turns to dust and I can't rejoice because joy does last
My black insides can't match up with my white outsides
Turning to turquoise the moment you broke my heart of glass and oh such bad news
My sinful nature taints the holiness of my soul...it subsides from all sides
Pass away, the negativity that backtracks the rhythm of blues
Verse 3: Erase me...
That's my plea...
I hand you forget me nots
You untied the knots...just as my heart rots
I haven't forgotten you because you are the highlight of my entire life
I don't know what to call you - my husband or wife?
I know I've done you so much harm...
My faithful friend, my companion of compassion
I'll be your blankets to keep you warm...
My genius mastermind, my wondrous passion
My apologies, perplexed out of my mind because you love me, despite all I've done just for the sake of the demented fun
My condolences, I ignored your compliments and I owe you all my thanks, my shimmering sun
Bleeding...turning to emerald stone
Breathing...unsafe in this land of alone...
I hear your echoing envy...Pity...
I feel your helping hand, empty
Pre-chorus: I can't be on my own, So what about you answer your phone?
Silence is putting my life at risk...I will reject alone
I higher my hands to the sky of scarlet bliss
You are the island of isolation that I miss
Chorus: You are as refreshing as Brisk...you're my
Change your tone of voice
Leaving me with no choice,
But to go back to the turning tables of my past
Hope turns to dust and I can't rejoice because joy does last
My black insides can't match up with my white outsides
Turning to turquoise the moment you broke my heart of glass and oh such bad news
My sinful nature taints the holiness of my soul...it subsides from all sides
Pass away, the negativity that backtracks the rhythm of blues
Verse 4: I lost my train of thought
All I am is a lonely ghost, so distraught
Giving in to confidence
I have no where else to turn to, just repentance
I have people that care about me
But I'm in despair, can't they see?
I'm a monster, miserably in the closet
I'm a disaster, jealousy leads to regret
Go away...drown away the sorrow
It left me with yesterday and no tomorrow
I'm telling you, I can't undo this shame I carry with me
I can't just change overnight...it's not a possibility
It's impossible to change my attitude, but you can motivate my aptitude
It's impossible to turn me to vermillion, but your empathy is needed along with an attitude of gratitude
This frustration, forever caught in a precious, yet vicious nightmare
Is too much to bear...it's unfair...
Faced with the reflection of my hideous face in the shattered mirror
On my own without a care...people stop and stare
Try to catch me if you can...if you can...
Dare to wonder how I feel inside, man
