Lyrics by Kristi Mckeever, Music by Savoy Shakir

I thought I knew you
But it was just a dream
All that was ruined
By your schemes

I thought I could trust you
But I was seeing stars
Now in the light
There you are

I made a little mistake, I did
How foolish could I be
An error in character
And that is on me
I made a little mistake, I did
Thinking we would succeed
Woe is me for just a minute
Cuz now I’m glad I’m free

I heard your sweet words
But they were paper-thin
They soon blew away
In the wind

I spoke with my heart
But yours could not be found
Love needs give and take to
Gather around

I made a little mistake, I did
How foolish could I be
An error in character
And that is on me
I made a little mistake, I did
Thinking we would succeed
Woe is me for just a minute
Cuz now I’m glad I’m free

Oh now I can find what real romance is
Maybe I’ll take up a little tap dancing
You won’t look and you won’t listen
For all the things that were missing

I made a little mistake, I did
How foolish could I be
An error in character
And that is on me
I made a little mistake, I did
Thinking we would succeed
Woe is me for just a minute
Cuz now I’m glad I’m free

error in character. demo

Presence, in essence, is cruel
Earth doesn’t know what to do
With my empyreal blaze
But you make the descent and put out worth it

So, say you swear
Say you believe in red strings
That pull us from heaven without any warning

To shine is a gift and a curse
Candle in the winds of universe
Til none’s left on my cake
But you make the ill-fated burnout worth it

So, say you swear
Say you believe in red strings
That pull us together en route to destiny

If I’m falling, darling
If I’m crash landing
Thank God and my guardian stars, too
That I’m entwined with you

So, say you swear
Say you believe

Say you swear
Say you believe
(it’s all i need)

Say you swear
Say you believe
We were meant to meet

red string descent

You find songs
To fall in and out of love to
Crying out the words
In imitation blue

You get lost
In the pages of a fable
Waking up to the taste
Of nothing new

But what if
It was yours whose heart bled
Because you took a chance?
You might win
You might lose it all
But what if
You weren’t scared to fall
And break?

And Break (What If)

Lyrics by Savoy

Now I lay me down to sleep
But it ain’t easy no
I made friends with floor
After I got hit by the door

Foolish to expect something
To cushion the blow
Not the first bruise on my skin
And not the last one, knowing my luck 
Gravity ain’t done having its way with me

Universe say to me
What it is you want from me
To stop your assault on me
I heard a woman speak

“Sis, it would behoove you to heed this
What you really, like really want is on the other side of your bullsh-t”
 
And it’s all sinking in
It’s all sinking in

Ooo I’m giving up, giving up
Tryna climb ladders up 
Places I’ve no business
Around faces I won’t miss
Is it alright? Yeah, yeah, yeah it’s alright

That I don’t wanna be in their circus 
That I found my flow, my purpose
That I found my truth
And I relaxed into it

And it all sinking in 
It’s all sinking in

(I live, I learn)

Sinking In

Lyrics by Savoy

Take a picture with your mind’s eye for me
I want you to remember me like this
High up, high tops on my feet
Might not be safe, but I love it in this swing

Cos I 
Can fly
And see everything

Sweater weather
Weight unlike a feather
Your pinky, my word
Our October omen 
Oh, man
The promises we’ve broken
Since then

Take a picture with your mind’s eye for me
I want you to remember you like this
Low down, dancing ‘round
white shoes in the mud
Like mad woman, but baby girl you’re being bold

So why
Oh why
Do we have to go?

I know they’re waiting for us
But I just want this moment
In our terrible twenties
To get our kicks dirty
Can you do that with me?
That’s the energy

Yeah I’m
Alive
And I love it…

Kicks

Lyrics by Savoy

Lately I’ve been losing at the game you created
Made my points quick and fast, first in class, made you mad, now you’re jaded

I’ve always taken our infinity for granted
Like my affinities, but what good is being 
good a lot of things if I can’t get right 

This one thing

Oh please
Have mercy on me
I’m still learning
I’m still your baby
I know I know
I’m old enough to go
But oh please
Have mercy on me

Spin your wheels venting about things you will not change
The least you could do is remove your bogus glitter glaze

Don’t ask why all the children are on the same sad page
Like you ain’t raise ‘em in a Hell with no guidance 
You were young when you asked the Almighty for 

Just one thing

Oh please
Have mercy on me
I’m still learning
I’m still your baby
I know I know
I’m old enough to go
But oh please
Have mercy on me

Have Mercy On Me

Sweetly unsavory. Controlled explosions. Bold-faced modesty. Savoy. Don’t forget the period.

Savoy.
