[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]
How heavy do your ears feel
Maybe, I can share that weight
Wrap your worries ‘round the wind
Watch it all fade away
If only, there was space for me
If only I could change and stop skirt chasing
Letting my memories fade away
It’s been a long time coming
Fold fiction on fingertips hoping you might stay
Cold description
Who makes the victim when history picks the favour
Favour if you may
May came and changed the season you lost that spring in your step
Sprinkle respect in my cadence when I call for you
All for you
It was all for you
Awful polite goodbyes it’s kind of awkward now
Thoughts are sound
Slanted mouths
Yellow face
Haunted smiles
Blue boxes and orchid flowers
Here lies the departed
[Chorus: Ebi Pamere]
I wish I could say that I will always be around
I know you hear the howling every time that I go out
And I wish I could say that I will always be around
But I know you hear the howling every time that I go out
[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]
Check
Smile like a sinner in the summertime
Speech like a prayer in the night
I left another promise by your pillowcase
Then bailed like a theft in the night
Time is relative
Lasting presence
Delicate details more relevant
Hanging onto your first words
Morning texts felt like morning sex after you came first
You always came first
Champion your name like gladiators
And battle for power during lonely hours
You told me your fears I showed you my weakness
I told you it’s safe I’ll hold all your secrets
Dine on tongues ‘til we’re tied and speechless
Speak less your silence is golden
Frozen in focus your details are potent
Poetry pieces piecing together your demons and omens
I swim deep in liquor and shallow conversations
Medicating to get my mind right
Smiling like I’m not tired of trying to pretend like everything’s wavy when the tides high
