Ekter

I definitely don't.

I really don't.

I promise I don't.

Truthfully.

Not another lie.

I could never tell

If you even fell.

It's in your eye

You didn't try.

Happiness you sell

Ringing like a bell.

Hear my sigh

Those scorched trees

Look upon death

The disappearing bees

Look upon death

Dirty water

Look upon death

A lifeless otter

Look upon death

Melted ice

Look upon death

Tainted rice

Look upon death

The common deflection

Look upon death

Cradle my soul,

Because it is hollow.

Make it whole,

So it can be free like a swallow.

Do not stay

If you are untrue.

No matter what I say

Please be you.

Is it more selfish to ask

Happiness on you or I?

Here is the task:

Which was the lie?

Cradle your soul,

And make it hollow.

It will no longer be whole,

I guess you cried last night.

You look so sad today

I guess you slept alright.

You look so bored today.

Or much less give a hell.

Your heat had me at kelvin.

Had me up in heaven.

Never had much luck with ladies.

I had a better shot with Hades.

You had me listening to Madonna.

Gave me new meaning to Nirvana.

Now I know what it's like to revel

And also conversate with a devil.

Wishing for an angel

I remember the sound

Emanating from you.

Golden hour sunrays all around

And your smile and grin anew.

A song on our ears.

How could I forget?

Even after all these years.

The public bus sunset.

I remember looking at the mirror.

You, I and blurred out faces.

With time it's gotten clearer.

Fresher than newly bought laces.

That my love was true.

How could I forget?

Everything that was you.

Shining on the public bus sunset.

I remember your eyes

And even your smile.

There should've been many tries,

Because you were worth every while.

Your head against my chest.

How could I forget?

That moment was one of the best.

Thoughts swimming in misery.

My soul drowning in filth,

Looking back at history.

A decade of pain,

Tears never make it go away.

My hurt is a stain,

A tattoo that will stay.

Lost in sorrow

With one eye on the past

And the other on a now that'll last.

They hollered

And then they sing,

“You never faltered”.

A king rose from his tomb.

He looked surprised,

As if just out of a womb.

By the crowd he was mesmerized.

They are cheering,

He thought himself a fool.

They surely must be jeering,

He thought himself unfit to rule.

Above the clouds the man goes.

Tears falling down his cheek.

Only history knows
