Tiya — Masala chai — lyrics
{Verse 1}
Skeleton tree on the mountain top
Bones seeping atrophy
I was Otis Redding on a rock
With my cigarettes and my coffee
With my head in the clouds
A gentle mist blankets me
Mist sound surrounds
Heart valley lost, only sky can see
{Chorus}
Light the fire, don’t let it burn your eyes
Left the sugar at home, the taste of cyanide
Boil it twice, can’t remember the spice
The only warm is in this masala chai
{Verse 2}
Skeleton key unlocks hallways in me
The hollows empty, the caverns unseen
Otis’s rock was held tight and not firm
In this natural light, in thе heart was the worm
Navi, I don’t know what to do
Now the lovе is lost and I have lost you
I left you alone with your heart and your mind
Sweet sanctuary in my absence you find
{Chorus}
Light the fire, don’t let it burn your eyes
Left the sugar at home, the taste of cyanide
Boil it twice, can’t remember the spice
The only warm is in this masala chai
Light the fire, the cackling was your noise
Left the sugar at home, sweetness made her choice
Lose me twice, I can’t remember your voice
The only warm is in your eyes and in this masala chai
{Sample — Maya Angelou reading Georgia Douglas Johnson’s «I Want to Die While You Love Me»}
(Who would care to live
To love had nothing more to ask
And nothing more to give, no —
I want to die while you love me
And bear to that still bed
Your kisses
Turbulent
Unspent
To warm me while I’m dead)
{Bridge}
I hope it’s easy not to miss me
Erasing all that history
My camera roll is saturated with your smile
And now I’m surrounded by pity
I lost my sanctuary
Per your request, I haven’t heard from you in a while
Every morning I wake up writing you letters in my head
Your words are the last thing I hear before I go to bed
I don’t know how we got here and I don’t know how to breathe
But honestly, my only hope is that you are happy
{Choral Vamp}
Throw it all away (she hates me)
Throw it all away (she hates me)
Don’t know what to say (erase me)
Forever and always
Throw it all away (she hates me)
Throw it all away (she hates me)
Don’t know what to say (erase me)
Forever and always
