The Day Stood Still



The day stood still as I floated softly to the sky.
Time after time I thought of flying high.
Send out of message that I need a savior to escape and fly.
Love is all we need to decide.
It is when our empty world keeps silently crashing down.
That I keep pushing around.
I am bleeding silently on the ground.
Knowing my lonely life is what I found.
The growing life of the woman admire today.
The sky builds emotion just to spray.
Let the rain fall on me today.
No reason why I should feel emotion this way.
Watch me gradually drown in your empty bliss.
In ocean never see the end of this.
Ending this way is just a list.
Tonight I am drowning in a sea of your empty bliss.
