[bodytext] => Maybe this whole thing is an act Or a crazy, vivid dream Running in a race that has no end But I don’t seem to be running out of energy “You don’t know what love is” they say As if deep down we really are supposed to know Maybe love is a ***** up fear That appreciation of having someone near Twisting your mind and drowning you in confusion My illogical theory with no conclusion There’s a sign in the darkened corridor of passion Reading “leave your emotions at the door” Spraying the room in a scent you adore Inside she’ll sit and wait for you Going by the name of “Loneliness” Beckoning you to come forward into the room Wrapping you in sheets of tempting mystery A deadly dance that leaves you bare And she’ll sit back down without a care That tiny voice inside your mind screaming” never again” Running down the corridor from the exposure Screaming with a new found fear of Loneliness Freed from her naïve, sweet clutches Tears of contempt roll down her cheek As she watches the departure of the flavour of the week Loneliness needs a partner, a companion Anyone but you, you’ll say, just anyone but you So love will take you by the hand And lead you slowly away As long as we don’t die alone, I’m sure we’ll be okay Remove the ignorance, coat by coat Someday she’ll leave this place and elope I’ll breathe in gas until the oxygen stops choking me So why do we love, if not out of fear? Where loneliness is no longer welcomed here One day soon, when one layer is enough Loneliness will thaw and fall in love.
