Promises

Lyrics

Was it the scent of a God? Or the stench of a demon In the air She wondered as she wiped away the semen From her hair She felt scared Her eyes fixed on the door She never felt that she could be the woman she now saw She needed someone to trust Her life in suspense Cause accidents can happen In the throes of anal passion Like contraction Mute patterns Map her darkest fears It's only fear that supersedes The tears that now appear So did she mean to cross the line? Or just a game she play With certainty she carried on And now she has to pay Or can she save herself She prayed to Jah almighty Only the cracks between her fingers Saw his body move slightly Wrong or rightly together Frightened fugitives of pleasure The swellings on her legs Attest to when they tried to sever Whether never is enough She knew the promises they made The promises they made The countless promises they made It's too far-gone Since the purging of desire The only way to have your way It now transpires Is to kill or be killed Then cover your tracks With all sentiment gone There's nothing colder than the facts Black, black, black thoughts Frequent meetings were illicit She wanted what he needed Violation not diseases Body freezes Then teases Acts of squalor and frenzy There's no envy Or holding on to future past memories It's explicit But this ya kind a thing them now prohibit From the spillage She hovered on his one last thought His face taut and wretched Weeping soars infected In a breath He summoned up a whisper in her ear Saying something 'bout the governance Of sex, lies, fears It's now on every other corner It's now on every other corner The promises she made The promises she made The countless promises she made It's now on every other corner
