BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY
|
I felt your gentle compassion then your burning anger
I tasted your nourishing joy but then felt a yearning hunger You bathed me with the warmth of the sun then with storms you replaced You gave me the softest caress then slapped my face I heard your delightful laugh but then your piercing cries I received the sweetest welcome but felt the heart-ripping goodbyes You guided me to a warm healing light followed by a treacherous hell You enchanted me with your fascinating magic then cast your most evil spell I discovered the sweetest of symphonies and the most bitter of laughters I heard the gentle running rivers but no happy ever afters Now give me, Your misguided faith and I’ll replace it with a liberating salvation Evoke your most fearful, destructive god and I’ll show you true loving compassion Give me a restraining sorrow and I’ll give you an open sky to breath Offer me the weakest rejection and I’ll give you arms that will ease Unveil your craving for passion and I’ll show you the softest release Confine me in constricting pain and I’ll give you a healing relief Reveal your sordid fantasies and I’ll share my most soothing dreams Tell me your perverse desires and I’ll give you a pure love supreme Show me your blinding darkness and I’ll show you wonders to see Give me a world that paralyses and I’ll give you a world that is free. |
