Life's Crossroads
"Between The Lines"
Sometimes when I lay down, I'm overcome by certain pleasures
Possibly one day we'll really even have a chance to be together
However, there is an obstacle in my way and it's called reality
Even with that in the way, I see you as the better half of me
I really hope that what I feel for you gets the chance to flourish
Even though I know that in the end, I'm merely be discouraged
Reflecting upon all the aspects of you that I adore
Knowing that there is room enough to treasure so much more
At times I wonder if you even take what I say to heart
Simply wondering if our joyous ride will ever even start
Eventually, I know that one day you'll truly be mine
Maybe one day, but first you have to read between the lines.
"Deprivation"
You'll probably never understand how much I truly miss you
Even though I only hugged you twice, and never tried to kiss you
I enjoyed your company, every time we talked you voice would comfort me
I wanted to tell you how I felt, but the words just would not come to me
I often watched you walking at a somewhat briskly pace
Countless dreams of me and you entwined in an embrace...
Of emotion, get past the part of Emanuel that you can see
All the facades have been dropped, and the result is simply me
A person, a man with desires, wants, and needs
I truly hate that my plan to be with you did not succeed
However, I'm just satisfied with knowing that I tried
But really deep inside I know that I have been deprived.
"Heart Of Gold"
The temperature drops out of nowhere, all of a sudden I feel so cold
It must be my surroundings as I sit next to a heart of gold
No escapades have taken place, I just enjoy the company
An ear open to listen, there's no telling what she's done for me
All the temper tantrums and attitude changes, shape your personality
They make you who you are, and to change them would be a casualty
You have so much stability, under the pressure..lies your grace
And those, wide glowing brown eyes illuminate your entire face
Nearly perfect gold, I'd be a fool to search for defects
Dignified by most accounts, you easily achieve your respect
Genuine in all aspects..something I don't need to be told
On the outside you shine like a diamond, but on the inside your heart is pure gold.
"Beaten By My Pride"
I stand Emanuel Christian Wallace, a product of defection
The condom popped, and now I here just asking for a blessing
I have this terrible condition, it's invisible outside
Too proud to beg for what I need, I'm beaten by my pride
It's seven in the evening, but I haven't ate since nine
Pay attention to my stomach, since it's growled eleven times
I see that your plate is full, and my body is so empty
You offer; I say no, even though I need the nutrients in me
My pride will let me starve, my pride will make me die...
My pride wlll be the end of me, can someone tell me why?
Emanuel stands here again, with more pride than one man should ever need
My pride often holds me back, I'll never get down on my knees
You might think that I'm stubborn, but I will not ask for a ride
I'll walk if I have to, I will not distract you, again I'm beaten by my pride.
