desire (bonus) Lyrics

Blinded by desire

They search higher

Like where prayers float

Let's remember who built the boat

Credit where it's due

Universal

To top it up

Rent is due

Living costs in crises

So they look to pleasure seek

Blinded by desire

They search higher

Like where birds fly

Thought I heard doves cry

My nephew's my prince

I try to make better choices for him

Future generations

But hard to think

Outside hedonistic urges

And not get blinded by desire

Let's search higher

Like where heart's meet

And speak

A beat

We don't need words

Your eyes telling me

All they wish to say

We look to our right

Waxing moon hangs in blue

To the left

Clouds glow

And murmurations flow

Share an expression like

'is this real life?'

Focussing on starlings

Pupils shake

Then one sun ray hits

Blinded by desire

We search higher

I could kiss you right now

But then what?

We'd let it play out 'til we get bored

Realise we're not that compatible

And find it difficult to go back to before

So, let's just stay here

Where the comfortable

Outweighs potential

And in that comfort

There is depth

And honesty

And we don't feel triggered

(or *insert another millennial buzzword*)

But instead feel peace

Instead

Let each other exist

Beyond our wanting

Too often

Blinded by desire

Let's search higher

…and im still catching up witj my pen
