Tar & Honey

Fear don't hunt me down I will not beg I will not pray for less Mystery wrap yourself around me I'll let the shame and the regret go To be as I want to be I can't say it but I know how it feels Spinning out is the epitome of losing sense of myself I can't expect you to empathize Just buy me time Sleeping triggers wake again Gaslit echoes of tar and honey, tar and honey Slipping down my throat And I'll question if it was easy To pour tar and honey Tar and honey into me Pain can't dissipate It just gets passed on Person to person, generation to generation And now it's out burden Can we transmute this? From tar to honey? I became intimate with my fear Befriended dread serves me Now life whispers hope into my ears Now I shiver and follow it's gentle signs Sleeping triggers wake again Gaslit echoes of tar and honey, tar and honey Slipping down my throat And I'll question if it was easy To pour tar and honey Tar and honey into me Can we transmute this? From tar to honey? Mystery wrap yourself around me I'll let the shame and the regret go We can be who we want to be
