Karma
Written by Amanda Escobar and Ben Cossit
Arranged by Graeme Swallow
Late nights overwhelmed with conversation
What is it that is so unspoken between us?
Built up frustration nagging at my subconscious
The turn of your smile into a flash of darkness
Back as swiftly, forsaking the void inside your soul
You teach me, you lead me. Empty when I go,
With no right to let the satisfaction that I do
Thoughts pulsating through and through.
And I'm erased with nothing, with nothing.
And then there's you to take it all away
Without realizing you do.
Just to be near you, just to be near you
Dropping your pride from your head to your feet
Dancing with me.
It's time to move on.
Watching you is just like watching me.
We are the reverse of the exact same thing.
We're polar opposites. We're one and the same.
It's the affection, the attention we crave.
I know you well because I know myself.
Simple, jealous of what it might be like to experience you
But the truth in my face is the fact of you,
Not this whimsical image of living art that you produce.
Karma.
Your precious life eating you away inside
Forever filling, always left unsatisfied
No matter who you have you're seeking someone more
Many treasures of a luscious maiden form
Held captive here by your enticing charm
Pretentiously you wave it on your arm
Delicate pearls laced on the string of your endeavors
We are, we are alike!
And then there's me to take it all away
Study from me and I will from you
Conquering pride in parts, truth underneath
Requesting that you dance with me.
