Flesh
The flesh doesn't blemish, nothings replenished, it just cries more
Meanwhile, detached souls bob at the surface, diminished in form
Mouths open to speak and out pours the driest sand,
for the deep Well of Love isn't a pool for play, nor a fountain for
quick
cool
lips,
looking to cure dehydration with a
swig
lay something heavy on me
the air is thinning with elevation
sing that condescending song, I’ve never known expectations
high torched words in return, stepping out of line gets me burned
looking me up with heart piercing eyes, they sense I’m forgetting a self left behind
still working on how to plea, explain, maybe they’ll get it later but today,
I work with a mask glued from a misread past
opposing reputation conceals myself but never desire
it’s all I’m standing on they throw as a reminder
yet they can’t deny - I’m on fucking fire
lay something heavy on me
for it’d be a lie to say I don’t take the words to where I lay
just for weigh, not use to no pain leaves me searching for more
till morning comes then I’m pinned to the floor
light and enlightened faith is setting in and now I don’t know where to begin, so please
lay something heavy on me
but nothing of soul or body
probing questions like it’s a mystery
I’m fine, bottom line, I lack lust for another
some think it’s hot, mind driving frustration
just tell yourself whatever makes you feel better,
I don’t run away from being afraid
bored before you save my number, I’m not stuck up or laying with another
I see much, the flash in your eye before you ever think to say hi
that’s a weak power I don’t want to hold, it’s lovely, please trust me, keep the strings to your soul, but despise me if you must take my passing on them, as something from an unaccepting stem
absent of rules to a win or lose game,
now you’re the one running away
I squint at the start line to your fictitious race
lay something heavy on me
I’m bored with peace maybe I should play, just a night
sometimes I despise my inability to tell a lie
thoughts drop before my hand is in motion
creations proposed in mind never measure
I’m no stranger to what they say brings pleasure, I like my highs to last forever, and I’ve heard of one too good to be true!
my family thinks I’m smug but I’m an addict too
that’s why I’m walking this line, don’t get confused, you'd be a fool to come in-between ones needed muse
question my stepping it’s never blind
I’m one who’s too obsessed with the why
lay something heavy on me
working through withheld promises
my stubbornness has even left me astonished, won’t back down, don’t expect me to leave
now I see you holding your breath before I speak
there’s something to be said and you know,
it’s not just me
emotional toying, seen from a mile
you’re lucky I can fake a good smile
gossip leaves a bad taste
you’re lucky southern queens weigh in on your fate
still saving your face with made up grace, if I really listened I’d be out of this place, but my word is my word though stained in disgrace
bitter from the long lag to believe, I give halos to those with pieces of me
lay something heavy on me
pull it from my mouth these words are heavy
I walk in the room as natural positions try to resume
loaded with tension they scream to escape, I feel shifting egos for fear of blame
why must our highest power be the one we hate
head in the sand, avoiding debates I can’t stand, I’ve never know medium so try to understand
in reflective hindsight, I should have seen it coming, God must be ironically funny
lay something heavy on me
this one I need and can’t escape, been avoiding it for too long, now I see how it’s fate
shouldn’t have said think what you will
looked into others to see what was real
made habit of hard hills for obsessive thrills
my least care and biggest flare, just when you think you’re done, another one to overcome
