pearl of great price
(11.11.20)

you're my pearl of great price
i'd sell everything to have you, i would
may you know eventually you alone will suffice
the remains of me, carelessly, hold onto you if they could

i'll keep you in my pocket
if you're not with me, someone's bound to steal
your face beams in a locket
9 months, i can finally feel

it's like you're yelling at me, your silence is deafening
confessing the feelings you lied, saying you had
my skin burns hot as you stay porcelain, singing Palestine
will give up as i did you, like it's some futile fad?

i hope i never lose you, i hope this never ends
you take up more space in my mind each day
your hand on my thigh, lips on my neck
i swear, i didn't come back for games to play

you can be vulnerable, i can promise you'll never be alone
it's coming off like you felt an obligation
repeated damage makes it harder than most
four months, they say i'm in love, an accurate duration

this is the end of our movie, i hope
on and off until we get tired of pretending
the audience is anticipated, they're waiting for you to let you
fall into my arms, claps in our theater, three years they have been awaiting
