Her
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am on the floor
I am in my kitchen
This place is so familiar
On my knees
I can hear the foot-steps
I can see their back walking out
I don’t know who to reach for
When I need
And so I pray to Her today
And I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses
Oooh
She’s coming in warm all like Elais
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
She’s not buying my shell
She sees right through my armor
She lingers in my shadows knowingly
She treats them like they’re angels
And maybe they are angels, really
She beckons me to braver inquiry
And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for patience
Oooh
She’s coming in hot all like Chakti
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
And even though she knows me well
It doesn’t mean it’s easy to pull me out of my self-imposed Hell
She knows all of my secrets
When I’m out of my body
I’m starting to see outlines of her face
She follows me when I run away
And even when I cut her off
She still says that she loves me
Come what may
And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses
Oooh
She’s coming in hot like Elais
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
