Emotional Seclusion

Toys of God

A bit slow…half written…not fully arranged, but sentiment is there…more words than music.

I never wanted to hurt you
I never wanted to see you cry
I just wanted to be beside you
And touch you deep inside

From the pain of the words that cut so deep I don’t think I can recover
And the madness that enshrouds me now devours me like no other
The hopes and dreams and memories I’ve so carelessly discarded
Will come and haunt me every night as I head for my departure from you

All I wanted was to love you
I just had to see you smile
But now your gone and life so lonely
How I long to hear your voice

The thoughts of you that died today bring the weight of the world upon me.
And the coldness left inside me now never ceasing to remind me
Of a world of dread that’s devoid of love full of emotional seclusion
And the pain and guilt rush through our veins as we manage this illusion no more

Now darkness smears love’s empty stains as I bleed for you profusely
I cling to life through a dancing beam from a candle held too loosely
And what remains of the love I’ve gained lies swollen in the middle
Of the cold dark place it’s left to die with no answer to the riddle of why

No one can hear me now as I battle my starved emotions
My screams for you are silenced deep in the shadow of my devotion
I can’t help but fear for the end’s that’s near as you put your arms around me
And you tell me that you love me…as you’re drifting away…I can’t stay
