Chastity - iio, Nadia Ali

Sweet little chaste woman

Why are you holding your breath in an ocean

Where the abyss is infinitely deep

Skiing mountains dangerously steep

Collecting all the dainty roses

Envisioning the one who proposes

I pray your garden’s always filled with seeds

That it’s not bothered by the stem of the weed

You keep your jewels in a safe

And only one set of keys

Careful to only bestow

The one who gets on his knees

Don’t believe in what is wrong, keep your night light on

You’re confusing lust for love

Learn it will be gone

Don’t believe in what is wrong

Keep your eyes open

You thought love and lust were one…

No!

They’re so different

Only love remains

Lust is all a game

Once you learn the truth

All will come to you

Chastity, I hope you’re listening

The point I’m making is the one you’re missing

I’m only telling you so that you don’t have to

Make the decisions that I once had to

I’m not a preacher who has practiced

I’m not a teacher but you are still an apprentice

My only fault is that I see this view

You’re not guilty, you’re beyond your youth

If you’re not prepared for this ride

I say you should close your eyes

These fields of no innocence

You couldn’t bare this blackened side

I only mean well, I only mean well, I promise

I won’t steer you wrong

It’s only a simple request
