Malika

(album: Tawk Tomahawk - 2012)

Scratch the nape, just like a snake
I will shake the scales and dry self I have been dragging
And I'll walk into the sun
And I won't bite my thumb
If the splendor ruptures, I'm gonna take it as it comes

Lurch, murky depth can tear your heart cruel
Deep calls to deep, a chance to sift through
Harsh may burn you love to seek truth
Shed a new view

Lurch, murky depth can pull you under
Deep calls to deep raucous as thunder
Shake the wonder, prey to other
Oh, we melt hearts a flutter
Ahhhhhh...
Ahhhhhh...
Ahhhhhhhhhh...
Ahhhh... ahhhhhh... ahhhhhhhhhhh...

A new stain etches through the veins
A small grace bathed in old refrain
Stretch the frame a little further
This aria will play again
Come now shiver through the soft aching jasmine ribbon around your claws
Rambles through the heart eons that dart
But never part
Now I finish the morning spark

Lurch, murky depth can tear your heart cruel
Deep calls to deep, a chance to sift through
Harsh may burn you love to seek truth
Shed a new view
Yiyayiyayahhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhhh...
Ahhhhhhhhh... ahhhhhhh... ahhhhhh...

My love, my love, my love

Scratch the nape, just like a snake
I will shake the scales and dry self I have been dragging
Malika, my soul sweetener
Malika, my soul sweetener
My soul sweetener, my soul sweetener
My soul sweetener
