Faced by the traces of the past TIme passes me by The last word I heard from you Was hello and goodbye I wonder if acquintances were just lies Bringing myself to terms with endearing love You possessed me But shoved Kept me in the dark While you shone in the light Why be the queen If you can't hug your kids tight How about you shush and scream the pride away The right feeling gets you to the place in your home I can't say I can't stay But, I could go away With the breath that leaves my throat dry And entices my mind Exhilaration is gone The frown comes on my face The stormy cloud rains on my mindless madness
