ALL OF ME featuring WISDOM CHILD [Produced by DviousMindZ]

[Verse 1]
I think I need another minute to breathe, watching the leaves twisting in the shift of the breeze/ and I freeze/
The images bleed, the sounds fade/ the unease, your spirit is free, the clouds gray, as your pain ceases/
My brain reaches for answers but cancels under the same weakness/ breaching the world we knew,
Falling to fragments upon seeing you with eyes closed, calling you back in/ but you left in a casket full of rose petals
So distressed, but basking your soul’s level/ revel in the light because life’s a sojourn/ but losing you is a slow burn,
The globe turns even after you’ve left, we try to keep collected/ but the memories come back when I least expect it/
But since you’ve left, the family’s reconnected so I try to keep perspective, but can’t let go/
Holding on to these pictures, they’re fading fast, but our bond’s made to last as the ages pass/

[Chorus – Wisdom Child]
I’m left here, stuck with all these tainted dreams/
Can’t you see you took all of me with you/

[Verse 2]
As an infant, born oblivious in my innocence to the storm spinning since before I was living it/ Insidious faces,
I write as I know it/ I was given the surface, I tried to go below it/ and though her eyes show it, her voice will never tell
When she fell and lost grip, slipped into a cell with walls closing in, she holds to keep steady, but a small opening
Explodes to breached levees/ Let the rain fall/ no shelter/ a young mother of two subdued by her elders/
Told to do whatever was asked of her/ feeling trapped under the mask to keep the past covered/
Saw her son rise, but it couldn’t prepare for all the pain and each prayer she put in the air like Hail Marys/
No time left, hoping the saints will receive her and open the gates, she’s growing faint/
Tried to bring her own closure from an over dosage of her medication, show’s over/ or so it seemed/
Maybe I dreamt it but I can still picture the medics trying to prevent it/ strengthened her faith and how she found God/
But it’s etched in her face, somehow it sounds odd to tell this story, knowing that a part of me was nearly lost forever,
It would have taken all of me/

[Chorus]
