- THE LONGING -
I can see the storm is brewing
Down this loathsome highway
It seems the only thing I know
Are the steps that black the day
I’m plagued by sunup and nightfall
The road from which I stray
And when I look in the mirror
See the next step to the grave
I feel the longing
The pressure is gaining on my shoulders
And the passion’s burning when embers smolder
I feel the longing
I feel the longing
The gravity of the eon
And pulling of the moon
But my demons will never stop
Voices that come way too soon
Offering my heart’s desire
Temptation in the gloom
And when I look in the mirror
I see the ink in the doom
I feel the longing
Never could see the absence of abyss
The void behind all the pale lips that I kissed
I feel the longing
I feel the longing
And when everything I have ever known
Seems to fade away into the black shadows
I feel the longing
The pressure is gaining on my shoulders
And the passion’s burning when embers smolder
I feel the longing
I feel the longing
Never could see the absence of abyss
The void behind all the pale lips that I kissed
I feel the longing
I feel the longing

Never could see the absence of abyss
The void behind all the pale lips that I kissed
I feel the longing
These words are spectacular. Even though this is in the dark category, its romantic. <3 Nicely done

Thank you, Most Mysterious. This is pretty much about the passing of time. I believe that even though we all have our trials and tribulations we love our existence and dread the end of this coil.
