Hold Omni

I need you so bad
I need you so
I want you so
‘cause this is just consolation to me
This is what I need
I need to write
I don’t fight it ‘cause it’s just percolating through me and permeating through me
It’s just so lovely, it’s
I need to put the pen to the paper
And I need to make love, and I don’t hate her
And I rape her, sometimes it’s just scratch
It’s just tearing up the page
And we have a long history together, making love
And it’s lessons to me
This is what I need
It makes me greater, not lesser, to me
Oh, the conditions I write for
I might more
After a hard days of work, I just soar
And it’s the blueprint that I need, the guide that I follow, as it leads me to the land of the holy grail
As I know you’ll always be there to me and available
Oh, our future looks so gosh darn bright
As I just scribble and I just intensively with all my might put it down
When my feelings are bleeding through and I just
The ink is just the motor oil that I just go through when I just toil, and I pursue and I, oh
How come you just don’t know? How come?
Uh, and it’s just all over me, holding me, controlling me, molding me
The old me was just gone and vanished
And I’m glad for it because this new one is resurrected, perfected
And it’s the essence of what I see that you don’t
And I know that you will eventually, my friend, or little boy, little girl who listen
It’s just the thing that flows through us, me, you, without us, within us
How could it go on without us? It do
And we think it’s us, the only, and without us, it’s gone forever and lonely, but no
See, oh, it’s got a hold on me and I can’t let you go… no
So forever, you’re my lover under the cover, uh
On the cover, sample
Of the four that made this, I’m so graciously thankful
So oh smokey, but I see through it
It’s so smokey, and it’s robbing me, but I lead through
I can see the end and the light
The tunnel is long
Forever it funnels through me so strong
And I put it down, this papyrus
I won’t lie to you, me or us
So, no, I won’t be forever gone
I’ll be forever long on an mp3
And it’s me, Alex uh
That is just it
Now, pausing no
You can hear me through the pauses oh so from me to you
Oh, on lead, oh
The making of this was in a long time but I’m thankful, so grateful
So I made who? Made me to make you
Addiction to just putting that pencil to that and making it and then it’s that
To make you firmer, to make you on more
Gosh darn, gosh
Feels so good after a hard day, so good after a long day
It’s my therapy
There it be
Alex to D
Thank Thee
