Corrine Jasmin - Shadow

Have you ever had a fever dream?
Vibrant colors, hot bodies
Cold sweats, tingling necks
Messages from the other side of the pillow
Other side of the moon, pulling you back
Dilated pupils, closed eyelids
Do you know what's real?
Do you know what you desire?
Refusing to settle for mediocracy
Settle for less
God damn it
I'm too blessed
All these dreams in my head
Soon to be in front of me
She don't pretend her shadow don't exist
She leaves the right side of the bed open in fact
She's a beam of light
One that expects eclipses and blackouts
She's sweet and savory, sensitive
Soft to the touch, she's love
She committed arson to hearts
Her own including
Swinging from the trees
Using branches as weapons
If she's not careful, she'll pierce her own neck
Does she move fast on purpose?
Self sabotage is cereal to her
I think it's a gift
You know
To call out your shadow
Give it a name
Sun and moon cycles
Where do we feel most safe?
I think about the saying
It happened in broad daylight, could you believe it?
Insinuating mischief could only occur
After we tucked ourselves into bed
And blown out the candle
How many deny themselves everyday?
How many people lie to themselves everyday?
She don't pretend her shadow don't exist
She leaves the right side of the bed open in fact
She's a beam of light
Does she move fast on purpose?
How many people lie to themselves every day?
How many people lie to themselves every day?
