Rhythm Junkie

It’s not really that bad, I’ve been thinking and thinking

what I actually meant based on what I’ve been saying

when I’m doing nothing, while I’m assuming and assuming

All the time I’ve been talking but I should really be doing the singing

Every time, everyday it keeps on ringing

The idea of us and of the lovin’ that we gon’ be making

but I should not go ahead of myself

I have to do the walking, before I go around runnin’ an’ runnin’

*insert chorus taken from another song here*

The way you make words from your thoughts

and the way you perceive yourself out of that

Kinda cute really but maybe I just bought

that part because I like you a lot

The skylight in the night

Above crashing waves

Beautiful beneath the stars

I want to fly to you, I want to reach out to you

Wasting another day

Looking at you without words to say

Finding a way to sail the sea

Without an anchor keeping me at bay

Another glimpse of you is another reason for me to make a move

Move

Shifting tides

You wake me up the middle of the night

You hold me tight

Wishing everything will be alright

At sunrise

But all the while towards a fading light

And you wonder why

We drowned our love right through the waves

We crashed as we picked up the pace

No matter how hard you try

Your tears won’t be enough to fill

the level of the sea on shifting tides

Hey crimson, how do you do?

It’s been a while since the last time I talked to you

Hey crimson, where have you been?

We’ve been seeing each other inside my dreams

Partly shameful, mostly painful

Living a night for a life that could have been

Hey crimson, I’m not that strong

Fighting against the current trying to create rights from wrongs

Hey crimson, now would you stay?

So that maybe tomorrow I would be okay

Mostly hatred, none of it sacred

Twisted thoughts keep taking me away

Burning desire to see you when I’m blind

In solitude with wasted memories defined

Hey crimson, can you just abandon my mind

And while you’re at it, leave my heart behind

I know I’ll stay ‘til the sorrow is replaced

Until the darkness exceeds never ending space

Until I leave to move to a far safer place

Until a life with my crimson light erased

One world, two poles

We each have our own

I made you leave, so to speak

Now I’m out here all alone

Easy come, hard to go

You need to get over

lips drying, voice cracking

Let your pride shatter

There’s no use crying

Just please stop trying

Don’t you know that I shiver whenever

I say these words to you

I don’t feel the same anymore

I love you; I don’t; I don’t love you

I’ve had it with love’s expectations

Compensations, predictive equations

I need a vacation, solitary attention

A symphony of pride and its preservation

Let’s stop pretending

That we’re never ending

Don’t you know that I shiver whenever

I say these words to you

I don’t feel the same anymore

I love you; I don’t; no I don’t

Don’t you know that I shiver whenever

I say that I love you

I’ll never feel the same anymore

I don’t; I don’t; I don’t love you

No more

Like before

You can be sure

This time, it’s final

Another round

For our first meeting, our first time talking

We learned to share the things we had, and the things we missed having

Every break we had, we’d get together

And have moments that we’d wish would stay forever

And I raise this glass for lovers

We could go through this all night long

I raise my glass one after the other

The bottles we accumulate, the stories we gather

Another round

For the times we smiled, together laughing

We went together, the memories of travelling

The first, second, and third year passed

Nothing could stop us from having a blast

And I raise this glass for the dreamers

For us trying to look for answers

For us who drown ourselves with our drinks

For us within the room with spinning heads and broken things

How about taking a second or two

For bringing back memories of me and you

From the times which we felt we had no clue

Until breaking hearts was the only thing left to do

Another round

For trying to keep things all to myself

Hurtful emotions burst from the shell

As we stay together, our hearts grow apart

It even became hard wishing for another start

And I’d go home in unending shame

For which I had the alcohol to blame

I thought another round would ease the pain

But I threw it all away and lost the game

I lost the game

I am your personal superhero

gonna save you from all your sorrow

nothing in this world can harm you now

I’ll be beside you throughout the day

and in your dreams when the sun is away

walking on your shadow, longing to stay

and you’ll never be alone

I’ll be your shoulder to cry on

so many words, easier said

than the things behind my head

I gave you pain instead

it all boils down to this

feelings I can’t dismiss

sorry for the disrespect

sorry for being indirect

sorry and I regret

sorry I tried to be perfect

but yeah, I should have known

how secrets are made to be told

I’m really not what I have shown

I even casted the first stone
