Life

Cannot Stop the Tongue

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Tell yourself to seek
the eternal truth walking into darkness
of domes. Where we faltered?

The solitary moon was
sad. All the stars were edging impatiently
to jump into the black hole.

Will you test the depth of
burning cauldron of the sun ready to
say that we will never die.

I was Afraid

Folder: 
Satish Verma

My mind was numb. Hologram.
I want to hold the wheel of the sun.
Something breaks in your heart.

It was an icy pause.
A butterfly dies in my closed hand.
The watcher understands the apathy.

Where is the pain of
separation? Could you burn like the
moon? I want to shut out tomorrow.

Wonderful Stones

Folder:

You want to preserve the immortal
flame. Everything is to be left in the universe
when you close the door.

At this moment you
should be living with empty hands.
Only the metaphors would survive.

A little woman becomes a
goddess, wants to go into blue water
to search the rare living gems.

Any Absolutes?

There is something in
pattern of politics. We were victims
of hornets. The venom proves-

The truth of life. Slaughter
houses are reality. You come out of the cave
like pure gold. A war between body and soul begins.

O necklace, O jewel, what
is the relationship between fire and
dewdrop? Was it worth dying?

Only the Strong

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

Sometimes it feels like I'm lost at sea

And I can't breathe

Sometimes I feel the walls closing in

And it's the end

Maybe I need to take a step back

And just relax

Maybe I don't have to say goodbye 

And I'm just fine

 

 

-But what if it's too late, and I must accept my fate

If I try/ will I die

Stay alive/ say goodnight

Only the strong survive

But what if I'm too late, and I must prepare to break

Grip the knife/ wasted life

Search for light/ dead of night

Only the strong survive- (chorus)

 

 

Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna drown

And I'm face down

Sometimes I feel my limbs going numb

And I can't run

Maybe I need to try to stand up

And not give up

Maybe I need to just clear my mind

And I'll be fine

 

But what if it's too late, and I must accept my fate

If I try/ will I die

Stay alive/ say goodnight

Only the strong survive

But what if I'm too late, and I must prepare to break

Grip the knife/ wasted life

Search for light/ dead of night

Only the strong survive

 

I don't want to die tonight

I don't want to lose this fight

I don't want to see the light

I don't want to die tonight

 

But what if it's too late, and I must accept my fate

If I try/ will I die

Stay alive/ say goodnight

Only the strong survive

But what if I'm too late, and I must prepare to break

Grip the knife/ wasted life

Search for light/ dead of night

Only the strong survive

 

Only the strong survive

Was it Right?

Folder: 
Satish Verma

No, my love, the sun
always rises after the darkness.
You have a heavenly sense of truth.

Something unusual gives
you inspiration, slicing the moon in
my cup of tea drinking alone.

You once said, it was
more than what I asked. The life picks
up the thread to knit a coat of stars.

Curves of Pains

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Increased vascularity of
the road less travelled, I have
started liking you again.

Step by step to you, I will
bury the tears of the moon. Once
I will see the bottle of sins.

Viper's eyes are fixed on
me. Digging the shadows of lenses
of shivering truths. I will not escape.

UNDERNEATH IT ALL

Folder: 
Songs

 

 

Verse 1:

 

D                                              A         D

There was a time when I was truly humble

D                             A         D

but lately all I can do is stumble

D

Though I put on my Sunday best

A                               G    D

and I act all good and righteous

G

Yeah, I can put on quite a show,

D                  A

But what my audience don't know

 

Chorus:

 

A

Underneath it all,

D

I still fall.

A

Underneath it all,

D

I still sin.

A

'Cause underneath it all,

E               D

it's still me deep within

A

and underneath it all,

D7

I'm still human.

 

Verse 2:

I failed You again, ooh I failed You again

I can't stop wallowing in my sin.

The very things I don't want to do

trip me up, and keep me from You.

And I just can't seem to do that

which my heart desires me to do, but

 

(Repeat Chorus)

 

Verse 3:

You came into my life, came into my heart

and set me apart, You set me apart,

so why do I keep failing You?

The very things I don't want to do

I find myself doing over and over again

I just can't stop wallowing in my sin.

 

(Repeat Chorus, then Bridge)

 

Bridge:

A

But underneath it all,

D7                  D

my heart cries out to You,

A                    D

Father forgive me

 

(Repeat Chorus 2 Xs)

Break Me Down

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

 

You don’t need to be blamed for anything

Your mother needs to be the one failing

I’ve come here to meet you across the line

It’s up to you to leave the rest behind.

 

-And when you get close enough to see me

your back starts sweating ever so sweetly

The brightness of your smile lights up my face

You always save me from that lonely place. -(Pre-chorus)

 

-Don’t shake me cause I’m thinking of you.

Don’t wake me up, I'm dreaming of you.

Don’t take my eyes, I’m seeing in you.

Don’t break me down, I'll hold onto you. -(Chorus)

 

You don’t need to be thrown in the spotlight

Your father shouldn't tell you to act right

I’ve come here just to whisper in your ear

You shouldn’t fear because you know I’m near  

 

-Pre-chorus-

-Chorus-

 

-Now they’re shaking me, waking me, taking me, and breaking me down

But I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and holding you down- (2x)

 

So don’t shake me, I'm thinking of you

don’t wake me up, I'm dreaming of you

don’t take me now , I'm seeing in you

don’t break me down, I'm holding you down

 

For I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and holding you down 

I’m still thinking and dreaming and seeing and I’m still holding you down
