When I Knew Everything

A song I wrote not too long ago. Not sure if I like it or not.

When I Knew Everything

 

Take my beating heart from me

So I may bleed no more.

Stop this insane intensity

And let me feel no more.

End this antagonistic agony.

Falling tears no more.

Destroy my pride and dignity

For which I need no more.

 

Chorus:

Back when I knew everything

So many things

Slipped through my fingers.

Back when I knew everything

I never saw you

But now you linger

Within my mind.

Within my soul.

Within my heart.

You've gained control.

Time is borrowed.

I live the day

For your return,

To come back my way.

 

Take this lack of light from me

So the shadows will grow no more.

Instill within an integrity

Finding strength to falter no more.

Bury all my hypocrisy

And I'll hold judgement no more.

Lend love legitimacy

And my lust will prevail no more.

 

Chorus: (repeat)

 

Living within your eyes,

Finally I realize

All things that I knew

Mean nothing without you.

 

Chorus: (repeat)

 

Legion

Dave stands and claps and one by one the rest of the room follows suit in a raucous applause.

Great job L.
