Everyday Siren
You think I have the capacity to be a casual lover?
You think I can now touch souls and unlink?
Like I'm some meat suit with nothing in it.
You don't know when I abandoned myself,
You don't know how I laid down my cosmic self...
You weren't there when I killed myself for connection.
You think I can even try to be basic in love?
Pay for me and pave my way for me?
As if I'm not here to pump divinity through your veins.
Oh, you do know what it feels like for bodies to touch?
Oh, do you know what it feels like for souls to merge?
Dear friend, Have you ever been inside someone's skin...?
You wonder about the power of everyday physical touch?
Do you wonder about the power of Universes colliding?
Not all have seen stars while staring at skin.
You want to invite me to blasphemy?
You want to remind me of my old self?
God sent me away to return home again.
You think I can look into your past lives and not be a part of one?
You think I can't see into your soul right now?
Touch my skin and feel the ether again.
You think you can have me dear stranger?
You think you can get up in my gift?
I gave it away too easily new friend.
You want to get closer to this body?
You want to glow the next day, everyday?
Honour this soul and the generations of love and pain it took to create it.
You yearn for the everyday siren?
You yearn for your wounds to be caressed?
Lay down your heart and your soul at my feet to rest.
