Howling

[Verse 1: Kojey Radical]

How heavy do your ears feel

Maybe, I can share that weight

Wrap your worries ‘round the wind

Watch it all fade away

If only, there was space for me

If only I could change and stop skirt chasing

Letting my memories fade away

It’s been a long time coming

Fold fiction on fingertips hoping you might stay

Cold description

Who makes the victim when history picks the favour

Favour if you may

May came and changed the season you lost that spring in your step

Sprinkle respect in my cadence when I call for you

All for you

It was all for you

Awful polite goodbyes it’s kind of awkward now

Thoughts are sound

Slanted mouths

Yellow face

Haunted smiles

Blue boxes and orchid flowers

Here lies the departed

[Chorus: Ebi Pamere]

I wish I could say that I will always be around

I know you hear the howling every time that I go out

And I wish I could say that I will always be around

But I know you hear the howling every time that I go out

[Verse 2: Kojey Radical]

Check

Smile like a sinner in the summertime

Speech like a prayer in the night

I left another promise by your pillowcase

Then bailed like a theft in the night

Time is relative

Lasting presence

Delicate details more relevant

Hanging onto your first words

Morning texts felt like morning sex after you came first

You always came first

Champion your name like gladiators

And battle for power during lonely hours

You told me your fears I showed you my weakness

I told you it’s safe I’ll hold all your secrets

Dine on tongues ‘til we’re tied and speechless

Speak less your silence is golden

Frozen in focus your details are potent

Poetry pieces piecing together your demons and omens

I swim deep in liquor and shallow conversations

Medicating to get my mind right

Smiling like I’m not tired of trying to pretend like everything’s wavy when the tides high

[Chorus]
