Tortuous, these cravings that burn
Tantalizing beats keeping time
Trembling voices softly beckon

Catch your breath, pause, pause and reckon
Embrace and release every rhyme
Let each minute toss and turn

Will you ever learn, will you learn
Crystal balls and these magic chimes
won’t stop this moment, this second

Trembling voices, how they beckon
Tantalizing as they keep time
Tortuous cravings crash and burn

Affairs of the heart as you make your way,
lost in a world of disarray
