Lyrics for moses

These days, I run blindfolded Used my two hands to part the sea like Moses I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby Lest I be swept away These days, I run blindfolded Used my two hands so it would seem I'm chosen I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough Until my final dying day Everything was nothing at all Nothing was a settled score, and Struggling it's all that I do Doing is my hated chore When my fingers reaches his, I drown Waiting for the boat to come around Gotta give you all that I got Gotta give you that and more Do you want the clothes off my back? No, I doubt it, you'd abhor them This fruitless work for the greater good I don't want it, he misunderstood that These days, I run blindfolded Used my two hands to part the sea like Moses I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby Lest I be struck in it (I won't dissolve) These days I run blindfolded Used my two hands so he can see my devotion I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough Until my final dying day "So be careful what you wish for," Words spoken from an uncouth Beware the allure of falsities and half-truths I'd spit that shit 'cause I wanted to But then I found out one of them was loving you I tell no secrets, my body harbors no lies But now I'm fearing I'm stuntin' with my hands tied I never went nowhere, so I say a little prayer "Lord, I'm not the evil-doer in this foolish love affair!" These days, I run blindfolded Used my two hands to part the sea like Moses I won't dissolve into pillars of salt, baby Lest I be struck in it (I won't be dissolve) These days, I run blindfolded Used my two hands so he could see my devotion I won't dissolve, I'll push through the trough Until my final dying day No, I won't dissolve Into pillars of salt No, I won't dissolve Until my final dying day
