I will never have that kind of love
That simmers over heat
The kind that fulfills desires
And tiptoes past deceit

I will never have that kind of love
That grabs and won’t let go
That pulls you into a warm embrace
Still with room to grow

I will never have that kind of love
That beckons every nerve
With every fiber of my being
Every extremity and curve

I will never have that kind of love
That suffers when you leave
Every second that you’re gone
I suffocate, can’t breathe

I will never have that kind of love
That shadows cannot find
That hides in open daylight
And stays with you stride for stride

I will never have that kind of love
That toils with my care
That sings with joyous harmony
Whenever we’re a pair

The sun rose without a thought
An uneventful whim
Casual and nonchalant
For the day to now begin
Hovering the horizon
Amidst an amber glow
Shedding light on the earth
The true star of the show

Do you have a mote of love
Still left in your heart
To steal away my blues
Even if we’re worlds apart
To amplify my mood
After all, it was always you
Whom I actively pursued
The words could not leave my mouth
But it’s long been overdue
So my words come out in song
Where was this feeling all along?
There’s always something wrong
Until there isn’t

You’re my motivation
My everything, my song
I hold you on a pedestal
Right where you belong
You’re my energy, my muse
My bright and shining star
That leads me from the darkness
Back to where you are

Spiral cleanser
Warped with spheres
Dissipates throughout the years
Earths gone missing
Down the hole
The more you see, the less you know
Out of our hands
Out of control
I rang the bell
And lost my soul
Through the chute
To parts unknown
Holding on to precious stones
So tight that they turned to coal
Where diamonds hide
And faith runs low
A design flaw
An after glow
Down into the rabbit hole

She takes and breaks
She’s cruel with fools
She conned a man
For all his jewels
She’s fascinated
And fascinating
She’s radiant, but short
She’ll never hesitate to turn you in
Or file a false report
She’s vindictive in her nature
Stares as cold as ice
She’ll only ask you once, not twice
So heed my sound advice
Don’t dance with the devil
Or you might just pay the price

I saw you dressed in tangerine
I’ve seen you dressed in white
White as that of a dove
As they’re taking flight
Towards a sky of baby blue
Over mountain peaks
Below the stars are promises
You make but never keep

I saw you dressed in tangerine
I’ve seen you wear all black
Darker than a shadows shadow
If we’re keeping track
So dark in fact, my next great act
Is to make you reappear
From the depths of the abyss
Where transparency’s quite clear
