Check it I was thinking about you
But I chose to write to God instead
Met on the page and broke bread
Sometimes my heart it is leaden
Memories I thought I let forget
Overestimated power of regret I guess
I planted seeds and watered in the darkness
I let a tree blossom in the bottom recesses
And yet I often wonder how I got into this mess
Instead of one love its two lives conflict
Interested parties catch eyes catch lie fast
Pick your poison
Like a blood anointing over sins past
It can happen when yesterday collides
With the present
Like scratch that I'm not past that
I'm confessin' I can pass that class
I'd rather not if you're the lesson
I would take that punishment
Risk losing my blessing
Goin' crazy over something
Maybe not be in the essence
What it seems to me it seems to me
Polyamory beckons
And I get it
I get why you could love her and me
Love never claimed exclusivity it is free
And neither clarity I wrote this
For God to see
But he knew I was gonna do
What I did before me
And I don't regret a thing
Perfect symmetry
Felt like the way the king intended us to be
So there's no apologies no rewinding
I would do it all again to show 'em
What love means
Some things we're too in to figure out
I'm just trynna be fine without knowing it all
This puzzle with pieces of
Like a glimpse of that right place we fit in
Some things we're too in to figure out
I'm just trynna be fine without knowing it all
This puzzle with pieces of
Like a glimpse of that right place we fit in
I like to write when it's late
And I'm sleep deprived
That's when I'm more inclined to joke
And just speak my mind
As far as what love means
Well I can read a line
From the dictionary
But I think I need to redefine
I need to live it to know it
That means I gotta give it
And let it be given back to grow it
I gotta sow it to get it
Like really get it I gotta show it
Not just talk about it like a lot of poets
A K A moi You see my day job's
Talking this romantic
Philosophic je ne sais quoi
And as a lyricist in my experience
Love's kind of bugged
Cause my fears and embarrassments
This music's who I always had to share it with
It's like a man that's in love with his therapist
And the affair is a lie
But I'm scared
Cause to truly care
And be cared for bares a risk
I wake up and I ask God for help
Then go online if my last song was felt
I forget about the pain
I'm gassed on myself
And the goblins in the closet
Go back on the shelf
Tryna figure what love means
Some things we're too in to figure out
I'm just trynna be fine without knowing it all
This puzzle with pieces of
Like a glimpse of that right place we fit in
Some things we're too in to figure out
I'm just trynna be fine without knowing it all
This puzzle with pieces of
Like a glimpse of that right place we fit in
Understanding being fully understood
Wonderful
Pain
Keeping no record of wrong
Why
Purity
Having no fear
All you need
My satisfaction is meeting your needs
Loyalty
True freedom
Mine
Yours
Ours
Satisfaction
True freedom
Praying for your enemies
A safe space to make mistakes
Love means check it out yeah
Love always has hope for another day
Love is grace love is patient
Even when it doesn't wanna stay
It doesn't run away like "andale"
It perseveres and suffers pain
And doesn't suffocate though it holds tight
And it doesn't change
Though some would say that love is vain
And it's just a game for
The young ones on lovers lane
Or just the chemistry of the brain
Just science you know something sane
But you know that love is strange
And wild and heartbreaking and unexplained
Love is dangerous as a dark street
Tuck your chain
Our world's going up in flames
Still love isn't violent
That said it's nothing safe
Cuz it means standing up to hate
So love is costly but love can save
And I'm of the faith
But "love your neighbor"
Isn't a christian or muslim phrase
No one owns it as some brothers claim
From the pulpit or from the stage
And in the coming age
I hope we'll see it as gay straight and colorless
Sometimes we all feel motherless
Above the grave
But it's in death and new life
When love is made
It's when you're unashamed
And finally unafraid
When you confront the pain
Face death and you'll see
In the end only love remains
