ME: (MY SOLE TREK)
Gradually falling into a precipice
Emptiness surrounds me in this deep abyss
Engulfed by rejection and hopelessness
But I’ll embrace this, till it’s reduced to nothingness
Emptiness surrounds me in this deep abyss
Engulfed by rejection and hopelessness
But I’ll embrace this, till it’s reduced to nothingness
Sometimes I ask how, sometimes I ask why
What moves me to even give it a try
My wings are clipped, why would I want to fly?
When I would only end up seeing myself cry
What moves me to even give it a try
My wings are clipped, why would I want to fly?
When I would only end up seeing myself cry
And as I am drenched by loneliness in the midst of the rain
Realizing I have no choice but to absorb the pain
A solitary figure huddled in a bus stop waiting for a train
The only answer I find is that waiting would only be in vain
Realizing I have no choice but to absorb the pain
A solitary figure huddled in a bus stop waiting for a train
The only answer I find is that waiting would only be in vain
HIM: (INHALE MS. SOLE TREKKER)
Sometimes we are pierced with self-savagery
We let the pain sink in
We love to cry…
But have you counted on a wildride…We let the pain sink in
We love to cry…
On those times you’ve tried?
It seems you wanted to believe…
On King James’ lies
Inhale…Miss Sole Trekker
There must be a mazel tov scent
In this wide abundance
In this world you have reached assent
The air to cherish…soon to be breathe in
An usher for the brighter days to come
As you walk grazingly with the warm breeze
With a flying feeling…under the grin of the Sun
Wipe your tears out…completely
For there will be more to flow…
This time…in grace
In love…in bliss (by: STL)
ME: (I WILL)
We all live through life’s “moments”
Every fleeting minute, no matter how evanescent
We need to embrace it, welcome it
Until a new dawn awakens our lonely spirit
But if we cry, that doesn’t mean we’ll never laugh
If we become vulnerable, can we not be tough?
If we fall, that doesn’t prove we can’t stand up
If we despair, does that follow we lose our will to be back on top?
After all, despite going through the savagery of pain
There is someone who reminds me of the beauty of the rain
One who thinks me a gem notwithstanding my being just “me”
And whose offer of friendship brings me joy and serenity
Yes, tears will keep flowing as you’ve said
Not only for hopes shattered and love unrequited
But that never giving up is what really matters
Because of what you inspire in me- something as meaningful and deep as a still water.
So don’t you worry cause I will eventually “inhale”
To savor the joy of life- to feel
The Love, the Bliss, the Grace
And emancipate myself from the sorrow I now face
Every fleeting minute, no matter how evanescent
We need to embrace it, welcome it
Until a new dawn awakens our lonely spirit
But if we cry, that doesn’t mean we’ll never laugh
If we become vulnerable, can we not be tough?
If we fall, that doesn’t prove we can’t stand up
If we despair, does that follow we lose our will to be back on top?
After all, despite going through the savagery of pain
There is someone who reminds me of the beauty of the rain
One who thinks me a gem notwithstanding my being just “me”
And whose offer of friendship brings me joy and serenity
Yes, tears will keep flowing as you’ve said
Not only for hopes shattered and love unrequited
But that never giving up is what really matters
Because of what you inspire in me- something as meaningful and deep as a still water.
So don’t you worry cause I will eventually “inhale”
To savor the joy of life- to feel
The Love, the Bliss, the Grace
And emancipate myself from the sorrow I now face
