Suffocation

Anger Therapy…
Suffocation

I stepped out of my own life
And met you in yours
I put my life on hold
To join you in yours

To love for a moment
To love for a day
To live for a moment
In a beautiful way

But you barely slowed down
You just took it in stride
You barely slowed down
Now the moment has died

I poured it out on you
The love that’s in my heart
But you’re too damned afraid
To open your own heart

You just don’t understand
That nothing was at stake
You could have made that moment
A sweet memory to take

You say your world is crazy
You think it’s some excuse
My world is just as crazy
And I don’t need a damned excuse

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
As though I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
A withered corpse
Twitching
On the ground

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
You think I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
Your withered corpse
Decaying
In the ground

As always I’m the fool
Cast my pearls before swine
Dare to love a blind-ass fool
Who can’t see love divine

Got to pick up the pieces
Got to wonder why
You see me as a black hole
A place for you to die

God knows it’s not the first time
I wish it were the last
I have to go on loving
And lock this in my past

Your thoughts dishonor me
We’ve got one life to live
You think I want it all
Or more than you can give

What you just don’t get
Is when you give it all
You don’t lose any thing
Not one thing at all

I said that all I wanted
Was a moment lived with love
I asked for just a moment
You dishonor me, my love

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
As though I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
A withered corpse
Twitching
On the ground

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
You think I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
Your withered corpse
Decaying
In the ground

I stepped out of my life
And met with you in yours
I put my life on hold
To join with you in yours

To share love for a moment
To share love for a day
To live life for a moment
In a light and beautiful way

But you barely slowed down for me
You took it all in stride
No, you barely slowed down for me
And now the moment’s died

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
As though I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
A withered corpse
Twitching
On the ground

Why do you see me
As a black hole
Suffocation!
Desolation!
You think I
Would take your soul
Consume you
Devour you
And leave you
Your withered corpse
Decaying
In the ground
