[Title: Tangled Up Prayer]
[Verse 1]
The clock says 10:13
I'm in my room, I haven't been seen
My phone is glowing, the only light
Watching the cam, in the black-and-white
He's finally home, he's in the door
"What was he thinking?"
I'm just not sure
I should go out there, make a scene
But I'm frozen here, staring at the screen.
[Pre-Chorus]
My son is home, he's safe, I guess
But my mind is still a tangled mess
This whole damn house is full of stress
But you're the one, Maurice... I confess
Consuming my every single move
Got a troubled home I'm supposed to soothe.
[Chorus]
And I should be praying
I should be in the bible, searching for that healing verse
I should be mending
Every broken piece before it gets worse
I'm worried 'bout my son, and the man he's gonna be
But you're the one consuming me.
And all I really want
Is a kiss that we haven't even shared...
And I'm so scared.
[Verse 2]
Now it's 2:13, I'm awake again
Only slept three hours, and then
This heat started rising up in me
Thinking... "When will I finally get my love?"
Are you my love, Maurice? The one I'm dreaming of?
Are you praying for me?
I know you're in the Word, so deep
It's a promise that you keep
And I just want to see you in your secret place
The one where you find all your grace.
[Chorus]
And I should be praying
I should be in the bible, searching for that healing verse
I should be mending
Every broken piece before it gets worse
I'm worried 'bout my son, and the man he's gonna be
But you're the one consuming me.
And all I really want
Is a kiss that we haven't even shared...
And I'm so scared.
[Bridge]
My son's in his room, the bible's in my hand
But I'm in a fantasy you'd understand
This isn't healing, this isn't grace
This is just the image of your face
This is just a want, a desperate-to-feel
It's a fantasy, but this worry is real.
[Final Chorus]
And I should be praying
I should be in the bible, searching for that healing verse
I should be mending
Every broken piece before it gets worse
I'm worried 'bout my son, and the man he's gonna be
But you're the one consuming me.
And all I really want
Is a kiss that we haven't even shared...
And I'm so scared.
[Outro]
10:13...
A troubled home...
2:13...
A kiss I've never known...
I should be praying.
(But I'm thinking of you...)
I should be praying.
