Skim Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Consider the source of your energy
Do you just hate him more than you love me?
Never been this sore for alkalinity
[Chorus]
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
I'm only the skim of
What has already been
I know every tense in
Which I cannot exist yet
My head swivels at one-ways
My head swivels at one-ways
[Verse 2]
Can you probe the ends of the Almighty?
Did he hold your hips with authority?
No pride or projection swells like insecurity
If only I could use that to hold you
I tell you, I would use that to hold you
[Chorus]
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
I'm only the skim of
What has already been
I know every tense in
Which I cannot exist
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
There's no unlit corner of the room I'm in
