What You Never Knew

Rating: 4.2


Flaws and toes
Lies and cries
My i sing this loudly sang silent chorus,
thats all it took for me to be me

Dreams and aims
Sins and bills,
My i sing this loudly sang silent chorus,
thats all it took for me to discover my romantic identity

Upon the splendid spells of spiral evil
that a loyal devil tear on my efforts
that hailed a dark shadow to the lucky shoulders
dismantled by the spiritual elements
that kept on fighting back to pull him down in concepual irrelevance,

From Cape to post along all coasts,
its false with pause
a heart with so much hurt
My i sing the loudly sang silent chorus
thats what it took for my mind to pervet,

From Nile while i set resile
It was love now just life
It was stars but no longer stairs
My i sing the loudly sang silent chorus
thats what it took for my eyes to open

His soul drained with much thinking,
perhaps too much thinking,
that see the decentralisation of human tendancy,
he held on strong, because a man cries not,
betrayed on not, a heart in two pieces,
but still a man never, he cries, but never try
perhaps, its a lesson, but a tear not droped

Forgive my heart
Forget my mind
And,
And
And my i sing the loudly sang silent chorus
thats what it took for him to learn what love is
