Verse: 1
a heart keeper/ I conceive her/ in dreams so meager/
I press in the subconscious deeper/ to find my dream reaper/
My open-ended story/my destiny metaphorically/
Given splendid restoring/ but beauty tends to ignore me/
How can I manage/ I'm average/ beauty's her advantage/
falling canvass/ viewpoint slanted/ my heart is too callused/
What is love? How can I render a clear perception/?
What is the heart? A symbol of affection or rejection/
Lord is Love an excuse to view life in Technicolor/?
You took my heart smothered You left me in utter comfort/
Love is sacrifice/ love is giving life and embracing me/
Love created me/ so I can show love creatively/
Love put strength in my breath/ length in my step/
put faith in my heart/ and grace in my depths/ so I confess
Love had me fulfilled and burns in me with certainty/
Love is passion, and the bridge to human maturity/


Verse:2
Loves been planted/ in my heart but never been abandoned/
I water this tandem of love and utter compassion/
Is it everlasting when the seed is expanding/
I imagine love as the soul's fashion/ and most beautiful companion/
As our heart is love's environment/ alteration inspired it/
I desire this/ Love is human's only requirement/
The heart-aches/ when the scars-take/ time to heal/
Loving mistakes/ causes heart-to-breaks/ and hindsight's all too real/
But the butterflies are vibrant/ in the stomach they scream in silence/
Each heart beats a triumph/ and a reflection of his likeness/
love isn't a science/ its feelings being acknowledged/
its the selfish being abolished/ its the heart being astonished/
But love's viewpoint gets jaded/ ultimate Love is created/
With a depth that dives into the heart and makes it sacred/
So lord take my heart/ tear it apart /and rebuild it/ refill it/
So when I spill it/ I'll give others the greatest gift of fulfillment/

chorus

Verse: 3
Humans are flawed/ Love has a cost/ love is the cross/
His blood drops/ transformed to seeds to grow love's crop/
As we fitted a crown of thorns he wore for our alibi's/
We whipped him with our lies/ nailed him with our compromise/
Humanity self destructs/ as tendon snapped and veins bust/
He was raised up/ to replace us/ arms open to embrace us/
Love is bloodshed and 9' nails driven / love is lashes given/
it kept him on the cross/ and has us forgiven/
love is the walk up Golgotha/ his blood bled with water/
A lamb at the altar/ quenched the thirst of all who wandered/
Love conquered/ in the heart of the paupers/ and benefactors/
The political monsters/ and mockers who display the senseless
laughter/
Reformed religious matters/ and nailed my sin to a tree/
Love became ambitious patterns/ its fruit had set me free/
Love became vivid/ as they whipped him with Judas kisses/
He said, " I love you" when he finally spoke "it is finished"/

About this song:

This is by far my favorite song but probably the most grueling process I've
experienced while writing a song. Mostly because I wanted to do the concept
justice. When the idea hit me, I felt the need to explain love in three different ways. Those ways being:
1) the love between a man and woman,
2) the concept and theory of love, and
3) the ultimate act of love.

The first verse began as part of a song I was writing with my friend Mateo. I
completed the first verse in one night and kept it on my computer. Shortly after, my computer crashed and I lost most of what Mateo had written as well as other
writings from the past three years. I was left with only my first verse. I decided to do the song alone so that I could expand more on my idea of the concept. I ended up spending a good portion of free time over the next two months writing it.
