Prayer

(album: Mothe - 2019)

Somewhere in the discourse
Do you see me
Wrapped up in a wrong cause
All neon and
Glowing in the floor

Cause all I see are red panes
Shinning from the break lights
A cool bare back
Draped in nighttime
Embarrassed to say
I love you more

But I'll change
To meet you
I breathe you
From my thought

I'll wait
To meet you
And I can see you
You're not too far

The end is near
The end is near
The end is near
I know

We'll disappear
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
For sure

Making up my own mind
Facing all the facts
In the wrong time
Can't you understand
Why I'm upset

All I hear are
Bad things
Creeping from the background
My superstitions in the wrong house
What I could kill for
Coming all this way?

I'll change
I'll change
To meet you
I need you
From my thought

I'll wait
To meet you
I see you
You're not far

The end is here
The end is here
The end is here
I know

We'll disappear
We'll disappear
We'll disappear
For sure, for sure

Afterword:

In light you stare around me
Through me
Although you had no knowledge
I am exposed in the moon
I rest in that spotlight
And though you barely perceive me
Light cannot complete me
'Cause I am made for the dark

I used to be
I would cheat baking in sun
Coughing up shadows and deep velvet
Consoling my duplicity
Yellow eyes and see through skin
The light lessened me
That light dried me thin
'Cause I am made for the dark
And spaces even darker

I exists best in the dark
My fears are nursed in the dark
On that sour breast that soothes me
I laugh in the dark
Black gums and ivory teeth
You search the ground in this dark
Afraid, exposed
Hands and knees to the earth
My belly sits the floor
Still I glide to darker spaces
It's home

I know, I know, know
I know, know

I laugh in the dark
You search the ground
In the dark
'Cause I am made for the dark
And spaces even darker
I exist best in the dark
You grip your chest in the dark
'Cause I am made for the dark
And spaces even darker
