feyiṣayo aluko sorry is a selfish word şarkı sözleri
Sorry is a selfish word
It cannot stretch itself over conversations
It breaks brittle into an abyss of dead words and obligation
From now on we will admit helpless instead of sorry
We will let the words form lumps in our throats
Though helpless is not enough
It does not wrap around hurt the way it is meant to
Only points at it
Creates spectacle of what it intended to heal
Borrows from tired sores like we are too tired to anoint them holy
From now on we will say holy instead of helpless
We will say
I am not holy that I am here
As in I have always been here
As in I am made holy at the thought of your pain
But we have seen flowered lungs bloom from hallowed ground
So we do not hold sorrow in our mouths when we think of you
There is no distress when you call
From now on we will say I love you instead of holy
As in I can become blinding orange lifebuoy
When you need to find your way home
As in I love you for all the pain you're in
