Soul Searching~ By Niramoy Ganguly

3/17/2015

Standing out at the edge of my window
Catch the breeze as I watch the world below
Minions to a cause of our own selfish pride
Wondering who I’d miss when I die.

Do your jobs well, make them happy
That’s what we’re programmed to be
For our great loving family dream
I can never be as happy as I seem

What can I give to you?
When I don’t know what you want me to
What can I say to you?
When I can not feel any of it to
I lay here in pieces, shattered to pieces
Soul Searching my life, so cut me up
Guide my soul to your heart

All this love around, white noise it’s to me
Not the fault of anyone, for I cannot see
Playing this broken heart for so long
I can no longer stand this song

I may be one with a heart of gold
But even gold still remains cold
My life slips away through these holes
Trying to remember what I was told

“To find the melody within the noise
You need to first find your tune”

What am I suppose to do?
When I don’t know how to love you to
Where am I suppose to see?
When I don’t know why we came to be
I lay here in pieces, shattered to pieces
Soul Searching my love, so cut me up
Heal my wounds with your love

It’s been too long since it was sung
A familiar echo has begun
Soul searching through this life of mine
Finding my heart, till the end of time

As the light pierces through the clouds
A forgotten sensation plays it loud
The metamorphous of your love
Begins to melt my frozen heart

What am I suppose to do?
When my heart beats because of you
What am I suppose to say?
When I’ve never felt like this, this way
No more in pieces, no soul shattered pieces
Guide my soul with your love

Soul Searching within me, and I found you
