Adem - ThouShaltNot

I cannot force the word

Collected heap to smell

I’m living what you had heard

I live the lie that you tell

The truth is best to leave alone

Insipid and cut

Look how we’ve grown

Touch me across a modern tongue

A change a pain under my thumb

See how I’ve been profaned

See now the lover stained

Sea of bounty holds

See me bought and sold

A shadowed mystery

I know it’s better than that

But never white and sent

And rather not intact

Take a breath

Take a breath

When you’re falling out of anger

Take a breath

Take a breath

Take a breath

When the danger is ahead

Take a breath

See how I’ve been profaned

See now the lover stained

Sea of bounty holds

See me bought and sold

See how I’ve been profaned

See now the lover stained

Sea of bounty holds

See me bought and sold
