Learning To Live And Love lyrics

A silence that overwhelms me with no comfort or hope

There is no room for austicity or romanisism here

So much pain and sorrow has fallen my way

I trust no one anymore...

Feeling as if God has forgotten my meager soul

There is no one to really call friend

Here is only room to be taken advantage of

To be oppressed...

Others hold away, not wishing to be close

Lest a configuration of involvement occur

Their labour falls upon my shoulders

And as well their blame...

It has always been so since my first breath

Loneliness stands before me like a grand tormentor

Twice my heart was given away in romantic presentation

Twice it hath come back to me bleeding still...

So confusing to be a male by physiology

To feel so perplexed by the love of a woman

If I perchance come to a close

A spot of weakness then...

They growl as if wild dogs, snarling

Pressing me away, disparing

I fear to speak openly

For a sense of hurt will follow...

My tears, so many have fallen in vain

There is great ambiguity to it all

Romanicism, gone forever I fear

Now it's only give and take...

With the pretense of cheating for gain

Soulessness for forfeit to a lustered body

No real relationship, only tolerance and convience

Such an accursed loss of emotions...

Blended to human feelings once I thought I knew

How then must I continue to react

Without any security or worth

Persevering in the anguish...

If breath constitutes living, then I am alive

If hope constitutes living then I have perished

No words of hope flutter through the post box

Lesser the phone, and still none from the mouth...

Unhappiness must be buried to bring forth hope

Bringing up a dispersing curiosity, reality's denial

Denying the depression that creeps in

A face that does not reflect the soul

Material possesions cannot substitute

The loss of companionship or trust

They only serve to scold in a selfish aire

A silent testiment to mistaken goals

The measure of wisdom is in the answer of perplexity

A perplexity brought forth in a state of mind

In a broken heart, and a lost soul

A catastrophe that has befallen us...

Like an invisible virus that through its creation

Is deemed our impending destruction

There must be an answer in a prescription

That may be a preventative, or a cure

We must react lest listlessness and dispair

Overtake everyone as it has myself

Greater days come though far distant now

Learning to live and love
