aphiemi Lyrics

What if we stayed where happiness existed

The piece of us that for so long has been missing

No longer trapped in reminiscing

But now present here living

I wonder if we stopped giving permission

To the worst of ourselves

Would we have the recognition of love again

Maybe not even love but like

The excuse to crawl into your skin

Because your scent has made me feral

Like a wild dog in heat or hunger

My eyes squint to focus on the plunder

Of your treasure

My ears close to hear your whispers of pleasure thunder

Loud quiet soft

No longer the rollercoaster of wild emotions

The back and forth of disgust and pain

If we could just remain

Here

Don't let me leave

Please

Don't let me leave

Please

I wish I could believe them

Those who speak as if the future was spoken to them

Those who whisper opinion as concrete

Those who encourage the river to roll on

I wish I could believe them

Those who say it gets better with time

Those who don't know time as intimate as I

Those who don't count the second hand ticks on a clock

I wish I could believe them

But if I did

I would lose whats left of you

I would have to let you go

And I don't want to
