'Til You - Josephine Oniyama

I knew every part of me was

When I cut my skin, it would hurt

Simple, simple, everything was simple

And when I was tired

I would sleep

Had something to say

I would speak

I knew, I knew everything about me

Oh I knew

My mouth was only taking breath in and out of

My lungs' just keeping me above the ground

I thought my heart was just of full blood, full of blood

Til you, you, you, you, you, you

Til you, you, you, you, you, you

Stars weren’t just fires in the sky

Things I saw in the night

So far so far everything was so far out

And it’s like I’ve been looking at the world in white and black

One eye closed

I don’t ever want to go back

To feel like

My mouth was only taking breath in and out of

My lungs' just keeping me above the ground

I thought my heart was just of full blood, full of blood

Til you, you, you, you

You pulled back the curtain to it all

Started a flood

I’d leave it all up, I’d leave it all up

Oh I knew

My mouth was only taking breath in and out of

My lungs' just keeping me above the ground

I thought my heart was just of full blood, full of blood

Til you, you, you, you, you, you

Till you, you, you, you, you, you

Till you, you, you, you

Till you
