Chanel, listen to the voices
Put your hands over my mouth, my adore
Before I say an idiotic prayer
What do I need to pray for
When you visit me
In a limited edition dream
A wish scratched off my bucket list
I must have done something good
Or is it just extra time on your hand
I've given Pain some time off
To hang out with the negatives
It'll be a while before we reunite
Or maybe not
Shut your hands over my mouth
Before I say another idiotic prayer
Lean into me
Let me take a look into your soft-core eyes
To examine the long winding roads
I had to take to get here
To have you in my dream.
Orate a melancholy voice
As a serenading flute,
How I've lost a soul, just like you
Is that why you are here
Chasing hot trails of gossip
Have you seen what I've missed
I try not to be an idiot praying for more of you
Too much freedom is for migrating clouds
And I'm in your arms as free as I want
Guessing what my last breath would taste like
Paint our background with verses of
The Torah, bible & the Quran, I feel so holy in this moment
I want them chanted as a remastered soundtrack
Sculpturing moments into masterpieces. Embedded forever in the halls of time
So, cover my mouth before I say other idiotic prayers
Before I wish for something unforgiving
To be loved
Something similar to blasphemy
Something I can't believe would
That you and I are one & the same
Tear that return ticket & stay here
In & around the mist you carry
The silence in my head broke its shell
Speaking its mind wanting more
Wanting you to sing a song about you,
It's the greed that comes with freedom
I have what I want
I have enough of what I want
But it's what I need that's eluding me
The half-life of your kiss lingers heavy & sticky
As silence occupied spaces between moments
Like seeping molasses
It's up to you to care or just
Sew my mouth shut, sealing it with your lips
Hush the hallucinating silence in my head
Before I say an idiotic prayer
Put your hands over my mouth, my adore
Before I say an idiotic prayer
