In the dark I dwell I know I'm not feeling very well Is this what it feels to be lonely? I want this feeling gone forever I tried to save myself Eyes opened thou seemed closed All I see is darkness like my eyes were never opened This feeling nobody could ever understand Light I needed But it seem thou all this are conceded I crawled to save myself But I didn't really get anywhere because I never knew where I was In the middle of nowhere I sat Hope is all I've got left I cried and shout but my voice I could not hear Tears is all I felt Just a glimpse of light I prayed for But it was as thou I was preaching Because no one was really listening I need a healing from this feeling I stretched to the sky I could not see This darkness can be a thing of beauty So I let my imagination see A darkness that blinds my eye but never my mind This feeling I could bend Darkness, my new canvas I stretch to the sky my mind could see A glimpse of light from a star In between my thumb and index finger, I looked with ones eyes closed Like a tiny diamond it seemed This picture I needed to share But no one was really there It was as thou everyone has raptured The feeling is back again but now I've been captured Once again, I'm all alone

Lonely Again
One of this days you're gonna miss me honey But don't you worry you won't be so lonely Right in your heart, you've got memories to keep you company

One of this days
My heart is yearning for something new They're only but a few I thought our love will be more like wine, with aging it's sweeter But this had an expiring date and now it's rotting down with time down the cellar And then there's you and I My heart stops for a brief moment when I catch You Looking at me Till you shock me with a Lil spark in your smile which put me at ease I'm addicted to you believe it or not, it's true But like war and peace Drawn to each other yet, can't be together You light up my soul but stir up the swarm of butterflies in my heart And it never felt so good to be on fire I don't want you killing me so you can save me Electrify my heart Come on, overwhelm me with your charge Kiss me with a lightning bolt Promise, I'll go down with a smile

Electrify my heart
O you humans What are you doing with your life? You've refused to live while you can Death overshadows you all But yet you act as though you've got a thousand lives O you man Why are you so eager to change things beyond your control? You don't see the fowl living in agony over losing her chicks to the hawk Why then do you prefer to worry Wait in patience, not in delay and do not hurry O you living child Only if you could remember how to live How you can feel and let go of emotions But yet do not carry it over to tomorrow How you can be sad and yet not drown yourself in sorrows How everything is possible with your imagination Why did you let aging blind you from seeing the simplicity in life?
