Analysis of The story Of Longing
Traveled a long road
Just to say
"I love you's"
We all know the rules
Once we lose
somehow we choose to die
I've packed my bags
I'm traveling,
battling the shadows that bring
these memories freezing my mind in time
inclined to find her again
One foot in front of thee other
to get the stepping and yet,
this very second it's evident
I'm closer then
I've ever been to heaven
Missing my angel
A stranger in this realm
seldom lost
My oxygen cells divorced from
my breathing until,
Close the doors behind
No looking back
Cause now I realize
Her like air in my lungs
to be found seems so profound
I don't know how I've
waited so long!?
It wasn't so long
I let her leave
I remember it like yesterday
The same day I ended breathing
"So long world!"
I've gone to find my breath again
Torn to pieces
what's left of me
Half this heart
My eyes half blinded
For my mind is
constantly reminded of us
(Pulling up to her address)
And just when
I burst through her door feeling
close to freedom
(Kicking it open "Boom!")
She's been already taken
(Man kissing her)
Oh worn shoes and torn soles
pulling triggers and hitting my soul
shooting right through me
(As her new lover shoots me)
"I'm too late!"
(Holding my chest and falling slowly)
