lirik lagu otis mensah - closer

[verse]
nomadic
head light as the ghosts habits
fro thrashing against the walls
with the mice in the cold casket
i’ve got eyes in every crevice
i cried for a slow sabbath
who am i was not established
at night when i’m nose diving in tide
how the toe tag can tell time
but knows little of why
we were ever here to begin with
in the guise of petty adulting
mouth wide trying to prise me cloud nine
prowling design in dead chaos
burning offеrings from your turret
i’m more like a brick layеr
planting prayers in mortar
orchestrate me a wailing mural
then give my seed to the water
every poem from fight or flight
i brought my slaughter for the cobra
torment under my corset
squeeze, pretty in all black
then they cut me in four quarters
you play dress like the master
but everything you are is just an echo
i’m jah shaka
call me mongrel, hit the tan bed
forge a skin graft in my image
you’re the prison i crammed inside every smile then bled a grimace
you scaled the buildings, shot up the village, desperate for kingdom
purge your hindrance, dance with joy in the fringes, mouth full of embers
we built dams that bore rivers in every nook, cranny and nimbus
when you find this body riddled with flies just return to sender
someone hand me my flowers quick, my death is a start~up business
another gatekeeper trying to sell me my ambition
a whole banquet of crumbs
gee thanks for slums, it hanker my tum
and all of this for your love child of interest
[chorus]
cut the daylight the daylight
i won’t make it past today
i never felt at home
the waist side and the late nights
my words stew inside the page
stumble across a goldmine
with your closed eyes
after everything i stayed
catch me sleep by grapevine
my graveside
but worry about my
boy worry about my
boy worry about my name

[verse]
show my enemies the pearly whites
i got bruises from my early life
many nooses with my name on that i never filled
i’ve been sanctified
and my hubris smelling like camomile
shake like bangles in the dead of night
this birthright
i’ve been dead alive
i’ve set alight like a sacrifice
you ain’t no pack of wolves
that’s pack of lies
i’m the troglodyte in some nephrite
keep me dreams tight
get some ballet in my bleak mind
from the thalamus to palace
in a world where they treat us like b~side
see squire, take that weak link leaking
re~wire, see in deep dyer we fire at peaks
break the fortress of the sire
free our desire to see higher and be gia
yeah most days these are poems like crazy~talk
like he dropped me in the ocean and tried to make me walk
i caved in and clung to shores
wave my ores in awe of those who made it through monday mornings
here in the north with bloated corpses
and the nostalgia talking until leafs are falling
free for all, free for all, and money’s awesome
that’s all they play on this funny walkman
no more extortion where’s my sunny portion
they made my skin cognitive dissonance
counting pours on top of my pours
where rain is pouring
with sweat debt and endorphins
cut me open my honeycomb
and keep tugging on this gun for more then
[chorus]
cut the daylight the daylight
i won’t make it past today
i never felt at home
the waist side and the late nights
my words stew inside the page
stumble across a goldmine
with your closed eyes
after everything i stayed
catch me sleep by grapevine
my graveside
but worry about my
boy worry about my
boy worry about my name

[outro]
we were supposed to let go but we didn’t though
i clung cigarette smoke but you didn’t know
pick the hair in my comb
let the river flow

we’re both scared of that ghost so we keep it close
we were supposed to let go but we didn’t though
i clung cigarette smoke but you didn’t know
pick the hair in my comb
let the river flow
we’re both scared of that ghost so we keep it close
yes we keep it close, yes we keep it close, yes i keep it close
