WAVES AND ILLUSION

Ko’si ewu loko Longe 
Longe fun ara re ni Ewu 

It’s at a start when I call on my soul,my flesh and my masculinity to take beyond the disappointment of my actions and bear the consequences of my reactions 
For I’ve redeemed my sweet,thick voice for the echoes of the other world and silence my pains 

Irin Ajo mi dabi Oko to ku so’ju Igbo 
I’ve searched for a wanderer like me but I meet with only the lost ones
In this little surface of my healthy heart has been stabbed but not bleeding 
I couldn’t comprehend if I’m the Sacrifice or the Savior

Bo pe titi 
Akalolo a pe Baba 
Sugbon Omije ti le di agbara ojo 
Ki salubata mi si ti ba lo 
Ki arami si ti tutu bi ewe oju omi 

Should have been Hello from the other side cause I saw my hell burning so low through the lens of my blind eyes 

Can I even cry?
Yes cause that’s the only myth to secure my Might.
