Array ( [sid] => 55203 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Killing Me Softly [time] => 2004-07-07 17:55:16 [hometext] => Any comments accepted. [bodytext] => My feet begin to press upon the air
The light shining down begins to glare
Took a trip through my mind yesterday
And I’m happy to know I took the wrong way
In the depths of darkness you’re all I can see
Seeing new shades of you
Seeing new shades of me

(Refrain)
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Seeing the other side of me
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Within the darkness is when I see

The things I reach are out of my range
See a new me but I did all but change
A feeling coincides as I take my space
The reflection of me will only start to erase
Walk through the water only to make a trace
Just another problem I won’t have to face

(Refrain)
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Seeing the other side of me
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Within the darkness is when I see

Another lost soul that was loose without their name
It relies within our differences that we are all the same
And when the well starts to get low and you watch as it drains
You see the reflection in the water and you watch away you pains
Thoughts of invasion will come through in currents from the sea
Even when held in captivity it relies within your mind if you’re free [comments] => 3 [counter] => 179 [topic] => 34 [informant] => coaster [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SongLyrics )
Killing Me Softly

My feet begin to press upon the air
The light shining down begins to glare
Took a trip through my mind yesterday
And I’m happy to know I took the wrong way
In the depths of darkness you’re all I can see
Seeing new shades of you
Seeing new shades of me

(Refrain)
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Seeing the other side of me
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Within the darkness is when I see

The things I reach are out of my range
See a new me but I did all but change
A feeling coincides as I take my space
The reflection of me will only start to erase
Walk through the water only to make a trace
Just another problem I won’t have to face

(Refrain)
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Seeing the other side of me
Killing me softly, safely, slowly
Within the darkness is when I see

Another lost soul that was loose without their name
It relies within our differences that we are all the same
And when the well starts to get low and you watch as it drains
You see the reflection in the water and you watch away you pains
Thoughts of invasion will come through in currents from the sea
Even when held in captivity it relies within your mind if you’re free
