Lyrics

The wider the smiles

The deeper the scars

Hidden in between langer lines

Revealed under moonlight in unsober minds


Unseen by the unkeen eyes

Unsaid to the unkeen ears

Years of drowned emotions

Surfacing in bouts of explosions

Imprisoned behind heartbeats in activity

Begging to be released from captivity


Reeling for some sense of appeal

Kneeling for more need to anneal

To be let out and be at ease

To be free from it and be at peace


Faints words failing to keep up

Failed words failing to live up

Insane within trying not to make a scene

Accept that cure isn't always in the medicine


To surrender to it, and let it win

To earn some relief, and have a shot to relive.

To start from scratch and scrap the past

To unzip the bag and let out the cats

Do you let down your guards and let in the gog?

With the hope that your Lord will still be the God


These days...

The purse is broke but the body is healthy

The weight is low, but my mind is heavy

The gait is wobbly, but my feet is steady

Love is here, but this heart isn't ready


The feelings used to be numerous

Our trust was in rust, questions of what is us?

We forgot the profit of loving us against the cost no more us

So what is the gain when there is no more loss?


The love hate paradox

The anomalous, the antonym of amorous

The anomaly of the normal us

This is not the normal us


It's ironic how the entirety of what we was

Is reduced to just words and emojis

That expire like whatsapp statuses and IG stories

I take solace in knowing that you are sitting there listening to another Elraji story


On a final note...

Laws of love are lost in lust

Who's worthy wants what was

To gain game again to rein in a rain of emotions and arraign a reign lost


We lost the right to right our wrongs

We had it right but we left the run

To rewrite this rite cause this right is wrong

The heart left its right to love you right


On certain days the fault was mine

On other days yours was more

Like minds lined up against each other's mind mines

Skipping steps to avoid miles of like mines


Our kind mind minds the mine zone

Whats worthy got blown

The dare was to err so we're alone

The care was there, dear to the backbone


But you, you was my backbone the cover to my spinal

But discourse and discords broke this cord and it was final

Together we was bad to the bone like osteoporosis

They say blood is red but so are freaking roses!


Purging you from my system was pure catharsis

Because we took turns to sink thorns

We bled well and we bred hell

So toast to the good times we broke bread like brethren.
