Lingering voices
The shadows of yesteryears
Foes of my today

My heart yearns for the days of yore
For my life went awry.
My heart yearns for the place I once lived
For I am astray and cannot find a new home.
My heart yearns to be heard
For I am muted by the deafening silence.
My heart yearns to be found
For I am lost in the labyrinth of the unknown.
My heart yearns to be fixed
For I am ramshackle in every single way.
My heart yearns for solitude
For I know I will be safe and secure.
My heart yearns to be loved
For I had withered and now gone.

There's no way I can go back
For I had lost track and broke my compass
One step and I'm lost
One turn and I'm stuck

There's no way I can be strong
For I am a tower of cards
One blow  and I fall
One shake and I break

Maybe someone could bring me light
Perhaps a dint of love can help me get by
Maybe there's love in love
But there's no love in the love that I know

I dream about your eyes staring into mine
As if there is no world around us.
I dream about your lips pressed against mine
As if there is fire burning between us.
I dream about your fingers interlocked with mine
As if no one can ever stop this love between us.
I dream about you all the time
Because only in my dreams you are mine.

In destiny's hands
Two wandering souls found home
Bliss entered the door

Cut me open;
To learn my fears.
Gouge my eyes,
To hold the truth.
Slit my throat;
To witness the pain.
Kiss me;
To taste the words I cannot say.
Suffocate me,
With your healing embrace.
Open my heart;
To feel the love I have inside.
