MELANCHOLIC LYRICS I

Melancholy breeds the best melody

That says blessed are those in love

For those who are not party to

are cursed to be alone

So sings the unrequited song

How passion plays along

So love gives us our humanity

And pain gives it veracity

Which we call a plague and poison

A tormented and torturous prison

As if to prove our worth and word

Beyond the hot boils of blood

And so, we dance the dance and sing the song

Play the game and string it along

We bow at the feet of those conquerors

The heartless and empty emperors

A sacrifice for the muse

Light not the fragile fuse

Tis not one’s place to revolt

But instead, accept the result

But what is life’s certainty

Other than a construct

That which would have us merrily marry

Rather than to fight for what’s love

Time, place, and circumstance

It all comes down to chance

Sometimes hidden under the nose

Somehow striking the wrong pose

And so, it is cruel to lose

All that you deem is true

For how can it be, that perfection found

Does not find it coming around

But this rings true, as the goddess’ will

May move in ways of mystery

And so, the purpose being, hidden to mortals

May yet fulfil our destinies

Such enigmas have given sentence to fate

Worse than a thousand deaths

For locked in the suffering of pain and hate

Comes the broken-hearted regret

That all is meant to be, and not to be

My will is not my destiny

Love is not an errand but a chore

It will always crave more

Yet all is fine

Even if tis not mine

For I know in another lifetime

Perhaps my lines will rhyme

Till then I will cherish agony

For my scars declare it true

Just as nature says the stars will burn

I will forever and always love you.
