Her

I am on the floor

I am in my kitchen

This place is so familiar on my knees

I can hear the footsteps

I can see their back walking out

I don't know who to reach for when I need

And so I'll pray to Her today

I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses ooh

She's coming in warm all like Kali

And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

She's coming in hot all like Shakti

And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

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, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

She's coming in hot like all Kali

And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, oh, oh
