Sophocles Writes

I feel like here, right here
We were been torn apart
They are all against us
Humans, desires, rules and our fears alike
Humans, knowingly or unknowingly
Breeds distance between us
Our desires and fears
Makes being together hard.

Do you really want me?
I don’t know and can not ask.
Do I really want you?
That’s a question I’m not ready to answer
The universe conspire against us
And mere mortals separate us
I am scared of losing you
Even though you’re not mine to lose.

This conspiracy runs deep
Deeper than the Mariana Trench
Deeper than the hurt we’ve gone through
Attack is the best form of defense
But casting us apart, the universe is
And until we fight back, with aggression
The conspiracy will keep spinning.

She would like holiday in the Bahamas
Let our honeymoon be in Medinah
Our first vacation, in Makkah.
She will have her first kid in Canada
Everything for the love of my life
Spending in her
And growing together
Raising our children in peace
In harmony, discipline and wealth

But first,
I have to get rich!

I’ve loved
And I’ve lost
A lot.
You’ve loved
And you’ve loved.
A lot.

Living in your head
Rent free,
Allow me to send him packing
The good and bad memories
Let me be here for you

She’s the demon
Of days past.
I want you to exorcize
Her bad memories
And replace them with good.

I could be the one for you
But you are scarred
You could be the one for me
But I am scared
You’ve lost
And I’ve lost.
