Soul Tie Secret [Dark Trapsoul. Soulful female vocals. Deep 808s, moody piano, spicy rhythm, 88 BPM.] [INTRO] (Slow, heavy bass pulse. Sound of a clock ticking)... ...10:13 Yeah... Eyepiercinglove. Day zero. Sunday's coming, but tonight... tonight the heat is loud. [V1] Clock says 10:13, I’m watching the screen My son’s coming home, a shadow in the green. He’s safely inside, but I’m still in the dark Staring at a thread that’s leaving a mark. Just left Recovery, heavy and deep Got promises to God that I’m trying to keep. But I’m listening to the Word and thinking of you Caught in a soul tie I can’t quite undo. (Adlib:) It’s the DNA... it’s deep! [REFRAIN] You call me Bae, you call me Darling, it’s sweet But I’m fasting for 21 days, cutting out the treat. I’m drinking it black, trying to burn off the shame Of a one-sided love and an eight-year game. [CHORUS - THE HOOK] It’s a soul tie secret, a spiritual groan I’m praying for healing while I’m here all alone. I want to be good, I want to be pure But this heat in my body is hard to endure. I should be praying... (God, I’m trying to pray) But the DNA you left won't wash away. [POST-CHORUS] (Rhythmic chant) Secret place, secret pain. Trying to wash away the rain. Soul tie, soul tie... don't set me free. (Adlib:) Don't set me free! [V2] 2:13 AM, and the heat wakes me up Emptying my soul while I’m filling my cup. I know you’re in the Word, in your secret place While I’m searching for mercy and a little more grace. Ten years as a CMA, I know how to mend But I can't find the suture for a "lover-friend." I’m sexually frustrated, trapped in the zone Waiting for a love that I’ve never quite known. (Adlib:) I see you Taz... Irish twin vibes. [CHORUS] It’s a soul tie secret, a spiritual groan I’m praying for healing while I’m here all alone. I want to be good, I want to be pure But this heat in my body is hard to endure. I should be praying... (God, I’m trying to pray) But the DNA you left won't wash away. [V3] Liquid fast starting Sunday, coffee black as my heart Trying to find the place where the new life can start. My son wants Wawa, you want a video I’m caught in the middle with nowhere to go. I told you I used you to help me get through The weight of the past and the things that I do. But the truth is, I'm reaching for something real Beyond the "energetic" way that you make me feel. (Adlib:) 21 days! I'm coming for the crown! [BRIDGE] (Music drops to just a bass heartbeat) It’s a "deep session," it’s "raw," it’s a test. I’m just a woman who’s trying her best. Black coffee and a troubled home... Searching for peace under the heavenly dome. [OUTRO] 21 days of staying in line... (It’s not clean...) 21 days of trying to be fine. Stitch by stitch, the rhythm returns. Water and the Word... let the old self burn. (Adlib:) Sunday's coming. Eyepiercinglove. 1989.
