[Verse 1]
Witness the vision
The fighting was sacrilegious
Cussing was just residual
With this division
Your heart was always the victim
The 'breaking' was a bridge you knew. - how to cross
Tell you, I carry the losses
Holding the L
As I cross this road with a writers block
We often get lost in the waters
Softly combusting
We're stardust, the U-n-I-verse is where Mine meets Yours
[Hook]
We're slow-mo dancing in the rain
Watching slowly
As our happy feet start to feel the pain
As we motion emotion
Moving through feelings
The fight for devotion
Swear I could hear you screaming
From deep within
Pouring out all you had to give me
Bear hugs were all you needed
Walking barefoot
The problem was that your sole was bleeding
See this connection's, electric
You count on that- for the metric
We'll drown the problems in alcohol, collectively
We're alcoholics
I dont know what to call it
But alcohol you later when I come back from the bottle store
(Oooooh)
Let's kick it back to the promise
I'll greatly master the calling
To make you a god
Witness this bad religion
And tell me the odds
The ritual will never involve assistance
We'll stand up on our own two feet
Or four
And when I get my rope you'll be the floor
You'll always catch me
[Verse 2]
Walking bare foot to the holy land
Holding hands
*Hosanna Hosanna* that's Moses man!
I know his staff
Talking about pain and redemption
Calling my name through the exodus
Trying to fight this mental imprisonment
Prescribing the regimen
Any man can just visit him
Tell him the problems of your heart
He'll take you from all the struggles
To where you'll witness your God
Working the finest miracles
Blessing you through the hardships
Relashions shifted from friends I had since we were children
To brothers I've learnt to kill with
Or kill for
It's still war
Inside my head
Man there's a real war
I got my lead, I pen and pad through the pain
A thousand words to peruse from the pain to peru
Moving with the words as they rudely maintain the rare truth
This just a broken haiku
From me to you
[Hook]×2
(Bridge)
We're slow-mo...
On our feet we're slow-mo dancing in the rain
Dancing in the rain
[3]
Stretching the lexicon just to write you letters
Let it go on and take you to bed reformed and resettled
When you get this honest heart warming form of talking
Communication
Stand on your feet and start walking
When you get this darling
Know that I'm standing from far, watching as you break apart, praying you'll make it out with no mark and no scar that's tainting your heart. You a star
Stand on your feet and start
