Anima - Soul
Anima - Soul
The agony of bitter fear
Rising above this endless joy
Like waves rise above ocean rocks
Piercing fear inside
Kills you slowly
Like a poison in the your veins
Love is manic
In this melancholy dream
Lasting for what feels like eternity
Longing to escape
Tears that come unexpectedly
Like a fast paced race
This world you’ve made
So small and the fear
Takes control and you panic
Anima is wounded
Like the declining numbers
We look at heartbroken
It is sick like the dogs in the alley
Needing only love themselves
Pain caresses your open heart
Love is a bitter symphony
In this dream
Like a nightmare it seems
This awakening of the anima
Cold sweat pours off your hot skin
Like a fever breaking
Balance of your weary soul
A medicine to calm your ailing
Like a prescription
You feel it all failing
After a few weeks
Like a broken down boxer
Punch drunk and speaking dumb
You try to get the words out
Like an asthmatic tries to breath
Without their inhaler
You see yourself in a similar light
A sad anima
Trying to fight
For the freedom
