Poetic - Seinabo Sey

I've been tongue tied down, and out these days Words don't come easy these days Hand on the pen, let the ink run dry Rather say nothing Keep what little piece of mind I've got Nurture this little piece of zen I've got And say a prayer for all the friends I've lost 'Cause I ain't fluent, no Shakespeare I got trouble making clear, the things that I feel 'Cause sixteen ain't enough These emotions piling up Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out Bars running out, need more 'Cause sixteen ain't enough 'Cause this sixteen ain't enough Trippin' over words I ain't even said yet Vivid nightmares got me waking up in cold sweat Troubleshooting, over thinking, the ship is sinking Yelling, seem nothing is cutting though Gotta wonder if I'm speaking things clearly now Only want to make you care the same about it But I ain't fluent, no Shakespeare Having trouble making clear, the things that I feel 'Cause sixteen ain't enough These emotions piling up Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out Bars running out, need more 'Cause sixteen ain't enough 'Cause this sixteen ain't enough Wish that I could wax poetic Paint a Picasso with these words like Kendrick I'd be spitting off the dome in the moment Flowing like water, words and poems I'm composing This symphony that I'm composing I'm going in 'Cause sixteen ain't enough These emotions piling up Neck deep in thoughts, need bailing out Bars running out, need more 'Cause sixteen ain't enough 'Cause this sixteen ain't enough

Flowers in my garden Die faster than they grow Slowly as they wither I reap the seeds i sow I have felt the wind blow Like fire like snow But only shame can conquer time And guilt should know Be wise enough to wonder Be brave and let it go Nothing's everlasting Have mercy on my soul Wrong when told the right way Might make you string your bow When all these clouds are full of of sin And rain should know Heaven keep the lonely You are not the only I heard you're feeling sorry for yourelf now Like tears from an eye in silence I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence No rest for the wicked Seek and you will find Silence is the symphony I trust and keep in mind Shadows have the habit Of making demons glow And all these clouds are full of sin And rain should know Heaven keep the lonely I am not the only I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence Have these leaves of gold Give me back my soul I know no matter what I can't stay on my knees Heaven help me please I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence I heard you're feeling sorry for yourself now Like tears from an eye in silence
