Imploding Heart

PrintPrint

There’s a revolution beginning in my life at last
My world will spread farther than my own mind
I feel the energy rushing with an anxious crash
No one knows it, but I can tell it is my time

I will rise, far beyond the moon, but how?
How will I be able to stay up there once up?
Which way will I take to get to my bow?
Even when everybody thinks I don’t do enough

In desperation towards the end of my grandeur
And at the beginning with illusions of majesty
I won’t let you underestimate my dedication
So I ask you what it is what you want from me

The darkness is fading away ever so slowly
Let me ask you before it comes rushing back
The light is becoming interested in my lowly
So let me ask you in which way I should attack

The things around my heart are pushing me
The pressure has my young heart imploding
The pressure is quickly becoming too much
I’ve reached a level I never thought I would touch

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

Would you like me crawl? I really would!
Would you like me jump for you? I would!
Would you like me to dance for you? I will!
Would you like me to die for you? It’s done!

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

Darling, my story is one of sad misery in all
But don’t you dare think I’ll fall back into it
The memories of an old life are making me fall
I would rather do this than be again hit

So to please all of you I’ll ask this
Before my name vanishes or appears
There is a reason for which I exist
You tell me what to do with my airs

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

For my heart is under attack with the pressure
Tell me how to get my name into the light
You see I have reached the level of a treasure
So how will I keep my body up here in flight?

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

Would you like me to dance? My hips can
Would you like me crawl in the dirt for you?
Would you like me to jump as high as I can?
Would you like me to die again and again for you?

Every time I die let it be so much slower
Let me wipe the makeup off of my young skin
I’ll bring my hips low for you every time lower
And my crawling will vibrate will all my sin

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

What would you like me to do? Before
Tell me before I die! Before I’m gone
I won’t leave until you realize my grandeur
I’ll never stop my fight I’ll go on and on

So what would you like me to do?
Would you like me to jump for you?
I will! I’m dedicated through and through
I’ll jump as high as I can would you like that?

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

Realize that I would die a thousand times over
May Satan himself take my soul from me now!
Would you like me to jump? Even stay in a hover?
I won’t dare stop afraid that you won’t let me bow

There is a pressure from inside tearing me apart
Allow me to ask this with my imploding heart

My imploding heart is begging for a chance here
In Hollywood, New York, and the world as a whole
So watch me jump as high as I can into the air
Would you like me to jump with the might of my soul?

Would that then content you? Let me jump
Watch me jump would you like that? Watch it
Tell me to jump for you. You know I will forever
I’ll jump for you. To keep my heart from imploding

I love the way you create a

I love the way you create a rhythm and the interesting ways in which you rhyme words. Being able to sustain that over such a lengthy piece is also quite impressive!
