Her

Lyrics for Her

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'll pray to Her today I ask for mercy, and I beg for pauses Ooh, ooh, ooh, 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 Oh, oh, oh
