(I CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU)
FREE ME FROM THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD

My emotions are killing me.
The violins are singing and the world swirls...
even as the barrage of rocks hasn't stopped falling on me.

The world is weighing me down
while all I can think about is you.
How can I push the rocks away when my mind is somewhere else?

Visions of lips and flesh still run through my mind.
I can't let go of the past.
The world freezes while the memories swim over my eyes.
Huh? What? I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention again.

All I want to do is to hold you in my arms.
Tonight. Tonight.
Why wait? Why another night?
Tonight. Today. Now.
I can't wait a second longer.
I must hold you in my arms once more.
We've already been apart too long.

But wait.
Still the rocks of the world weigh me down.
Damnit.
Free me.
Somebody free me.
For God's sake would somebody free me!

Curses.
Loathing.
I remain in darkness once more.
Bitter.
Betrayed.
But in love, still.
Yes, still I shall love you.
Forever.
Forever.
Even as the world weighs me down.
I love you.
