So Smooth

Unfold my wings, so I can fly to you through and through I’m too bold to be cold in your captivating arms I foolishly fell for your trap and that’s nothing new I’m gold compared to your liberating charms Oh, you still believe you’re very smooth? I’m a rotting tooth in your despicable mouth We were together in the picture booth I can’t cut the roots…and its continuous growth I’ve grown accustomed to your touch Yet, I no longer talk much and such Please don’t leave me in the dust of a thousand blues Please don’t grieve because of my lost-forgotten lust issues You think you’re smooth and can always defeat me? Well, you know I am stronger than you’ll ever realize I find myself faithlessly falling again – can you let me free? You reduced me to tears and they do drip from my eyes I love the river of bondageless radiance That has made me overcome the waves of harsh emotion Seeking ever-soaring, elegant deliverance That will save me from feeling numb in suicidal notion You think you’re smooth and invincible? I rely on God and He will do the impossible You think you’re smooth and humble? I can smell your stench of pride from a million miles away…I am an unstable table who made a terrific tumble
