I'm Parched, You've Lulled Me to Madness
I.
I know hunger, I know thirst
I know famine, I know a parched throat
But I know the meaning now
When you came to let me know
If you were a man of icon, dressed by
Robes. With reverence as lace and
Redemption for my salvation.
I know them, I know them now
I've always known
Bring to me the chilled teardrop of spring
To my cracked lips they be moistened
Perhaps, revitalize my withering life
You'll see my eyes, you'll see me survived
And I will see an icon, don't leave me now
Don't leave like a ghost
Town, deserted and ruins harking Athens
To my own city of wisdom is a madness
Cursed
Stretched my trembling hands
Are my frail wrists, I offer you.
Look at me, see my fear and,
I, an anxious. Of tomorrow or today
Perhaps the next future
Oh, my one and only salvation,
My parched and dried hope,
Bring them wellness, and you'll see madness
Madness of someone who latched on
II.
Court my sensibilities, sweep me off of my feet
By big fat lies and illusion, so is level-headedness
If not, clear-eyed disenchantment
My darling, how I adore you and despise
How I put my infatuation and distaste
Born from an unschooled maiden
Bliss and innocent, young and dumb
Of how fucked-up of a man you are
Yet, you are my dear, now don't leave
Stay, please, bear with me
My bones have shrank thinner
I'd held a grip on your forearm like strength
A prayer that I'd come out alive and well
Not my vision growing dull and bleaker
But lay me down on the bed of nails
Cradle my head by your arm of firm
And look down to me with confidence
Light trails of a smile for the impending danger
Love, I would stick on by you
You have lulled a shred of sanity
By the by is the languishing virtue
Will I be found damned and dead?
In your arms, am I a fallen disgrace?
But a pursuit, my madness ensued
Dance with me, a little sympathy
Give me, I implore you, let me have you secured
If my mind wracked my body to seizure
Shaking my limbs, stretching my toes,
I would run to you in my head, I'd run back
For just like my ancestors of seas and charters
I'd navigate all the riptide, these waves of danger
Like you, my love, sharp winds slap around
But I'd catch you in the eye of the storm
Seek embrace, carry on, and never look back
Stay, please, bear with me
Will you still me love when my youth is gone?
Will you still adore me if my presence waned?
For just like every women in their own fixation,
Will you still love me when beauty's gone?
Yet, you are my dear, so please don't leave
Don't let me feel this anxiety, when time heaves
I reek of despair, dwindling and spiraling, I know
A Cecilia, a sonata, come madness, here my love
If I'm a moth to a flame, burn me in hell now
That cradle, rock me and I will douse a slumber
Smiling tender in your care as I see assurance
Tomorrow, I'd perish if you chose the mercy to leave
But injury and slights you make, I bleed
But if you're gone and I'm restless, it possesses no life
Isn't it pathetic?
I don't care, so long you would never leave my side
III.
Now, my love, sing like a troubadour
Even if my lids flutter a dousing body,
Lulled and assured
Both lies, temptations and more empty promises
Darling, sweet darling, poison me by sweet scent
Call it a waft of decadent aroma
Slowly, as it should be
I'd wait for the day, how by every seconds
Every hour, I endure my stomach's pain
From hunger
I had kept my dried mouth quenched
By my own way of water, purged them out
And bring them back in
Bewildered, don't be. I know it's madness
But if you're there, you don't leave
I'd forget them, I'd forget them
If I've ever known them at all
Unless you keep me reminded of it now
