No Running

[Verse 1] I stand at the coastline, pondering the journey Maritime breeze in my face, Sun has a golden shine My gaze reaches from here to the shore across My heart is filled with gratitude and that is how I know it's time To take a leap of faith, face the future with serene grace Despite all the wars I fought - In the name of love in vain, with tainted blood Pumping thru the veins of a cub, who then became a thug Only made love with a maiden I trusted, ultimately The bond broke and then I couldn't broker peace Notably never prayed for self, but for others instead And shared with those that had hungered for bread And still, a hole that I have yet to fill, it governs me Pluto in the 7th House, in Scorpio - And you know that if tension mounts, I want to grow Thru upheaval, it tore me apart but I had to leave you... [Chorus] Through the pain that I've wrought Lived thru, failed to soothe, I know Despite everything that's left unsaid If I listen to your voice, I know Through the hurt you have seen Inflicted and can't take back, you know Despite everything that's left unsaid If you look into my eyes, you know [Verse 2] I crave intensity, essentially I'm obsessed With overcoming what was put here to hinder me It seems to strengthen me, longing for What isn't meant to be, like maybe it'll be eventually The feeling of might and vulnerability The volcano's still asleep, or so it seems Reality is the blossom of seeds sown in dreams There is significance though you don't know what it means I am, absurdist at core, walking through parks Seeking stillness in motion, filled with devotion To those close yet far, concealed in the open On my sleeve, my heart rests in perforated state My only mask is honesty, the burden's in my face My eyes speak the universal language of fate Found solace in solitude, my lazaret of love And yet, here I am, a version of me that never was... [Chorus] [Verse 3] I remember the insomniac nights The tears you held back and those I cried When we missed each other by five minutes And I stood in the rain for two hours, waiting on a damn train I would've done anything to see you, you don't need proof The chemistry that weekend we shared, was deeper than Anything that I ever felt with any woman, repressed feelings Resurged when you'd sent the words, there was no running... [Chorus]
