My House, My Name

My house, my name

knees knock, keys click

I’m on a mission

eyes locked, can't quit

You move like midnight

slow spin, full glass

You laugh, the room bends

I’m already past

I want your beauty

all your mess, all your best

I want your rest

head on my chest

I want your body

in my arms, under my control

I want your soul saying my name, say my name…

beatboxing in my bones (hey!)

Red lip, chipped cup

your phone face down

You say you’re tired

of this carousel town

Bare feet on concrete

you hum that tune

Your heart hits accents

around the room

I want your beauty

all your mess, all your best

I want your rest

head on my chest

I want your body

in my arms, under my control

I want your soul saying my name, say my name…

beatboxing in my bones (oh yeah)

Say you’re scared

so am I

Same old wounds

same thin lies. Say my name, yeah dats me. The sound of my name

tastes like gold with weight of centuries told, say my name

Yell it bold, yell it bold—

I want your beauty

all your mess, all your best

I want your rest

head on my chest

I want your body

in my arms, under my control

I want your soul saying my name, say my name…

beatboxing in my bones (beatboxing in my bones)
