Cold Little Heart

Did you ever yearn for it?
Did you crave it deep?
Oh, my soul
It rends me asunder
Did you ever confront it?
All the anguish
So much pride
Pulses within me

Weeping, I’m weeping
My frozen little core
Oh I, I abhor myself

And I realize
In my soul, in this frigid heart
I can endure or I can perish
I believe if I only strive
You have faith in us
In us
In us
In us

Did you ever discern
I’ve been filled with shame
Throughout my existence
I’ve been engaging in deceit
We can endeavor to conceal it
It remains unchanged
I’ve been forfeiting you
One day at a time

Perhaps this time I can muster strength
But knowing who I am
I’m likely mistaken
Perhaps this time I can traverse far
But reflecting on where I’ve tread
Isn’t aiding my commencement

I don’t object if you desire to journey anywhere
I’ll escort you there
We can traverse if you wish to venture anywhere
I’ll guide you there
We can race with the headlights ablaze
Until we possess nothing to forfeit
We rise, lifted from the earth
We soar, never descending
I don’t object if you wish to journey anywhere
I’ll guide you there
Every day is like the weekend, endeavoring to be your confidant
Struggling simply to decipher it all
Residing on the outskirts
Struggling simply to decipher it all
Speaking like a derelict, I simply desired you to perceive
All that I could see
Strolling beneath the nocturnal sky, I’m always by your side
You are truly rescuing me
We can venture to the Chateau Marmont
And sway in the chambers
We rose, lifted from the earth
We soar, never descending
I don’t object if you wish to journey anywhere
I’ll guide you there
I’ll guide you there
Do not squander your time
