Scratch the nape, just like a snake
I will shake the scales and dry self I have been dragging
And I'll walk into the sun

And I won't bite my thumb
If the splendor ruptures, I'm gonna take it as it comes


[Hook 1]
Lurch, murky depth can tear your heart cruel
Deep calls to deep, a chance to sift through

Harsh may burn you love to seek truth
Shed a new view


Lurch, murky depth can pull you under
Deep calls to deep raucous as thunder
Shake the wonder, prey to other

Oh, we melt hearts a flutter

A new stain etches through the veins

A small grace bathed in old refrain
Stretch the frame a little further
This aria will play again

Come now shiver through the soft aching jasmine ribbon around your claws
Rambles through the heart eons that dart
But never part

Now I finish the morning spark

[Hook 1]


My love, my love, my love


Scratch the nape, just like a snake
I will shake the scales and dry self I have been dragging
Malika, my soul sweetener

Malika, my soul sweetener
My soul sweetener, my soul sweetener
