Rachel Chinouriri
Perfect Wounds
[Chorus: Rachel Chinouriri]
Maybe this time, beneath the burning coal
You'll find the ziptides, that turn the love to stone
We'll do it all again, all again
Is it worth it, are the wounds too perfect?
[Post-Chorus: Che Lingo]
Pick your poison choose it wisely
Sip slow and then invite me, yeah
To partake in what's been hurting your soul
Cause I've been yearning to know
Head up, I've been on the verge of exploding
But I don't want this shrapnel to deter you from growth
So I've been working from home, getting burst in my zone
There's a fortress round this heart of minе, should I let you in I can't decide
[Verse 1: Che Lingo]
I wondеr what does really happen after you die
I'd like to think you just relive the favourite parts of your memories
Til your soul is high enough to become part of the sky
Its not easy to share that feeling and its harder to try
When you really have to evaluate those parts of your life
That you've been afraid of facing, stepping into dark from the light
And all that you've experienced from heart to your eyes
You see it clear now, like surgery for the partially blind
Because you felt the pain from tribulations, laughter can't hide
Whatever happens, you take that as a part of your stride
And carve your destiny out hard with that knife
The same knife they stabbed your back with made you sharper, besides
These things have destroyed kings and seen disaster run rife
No revenge, I seek redemption and let karma decide
We just patch ourselves up, but then we blast as we find
[Chorus: Rachel Chinouriri]
Maybe this time, beneath the burning coal
You'll find the ziptides, that turn the love to stone
We'll do it all again, all again
Is it worth it, are the wounds too perfect?
[Post-Chorus: Che Lingo]
Pick your poison choose it wisely
Sip slow and then invite me, yeah
To partake in what's been hurting your soul
Cause I've been yearning to know
Head up, I've been on the verge of exploding
But I don't want this shrapnel to deter you from growth
So I've been working from home, getting burst in my zone
There's a fortress round this heart of mine, should I let you in I can't decide
[Verse 2: Che Lingo]
I've got so much toxicity lingering in my history
Man I know what it's meant to be but it's never that simple, see
I've got powerful demons here, paying rent and they live with me
Got me questioning everything, I'm on trial consistently
So I never know where to go
No direction I've been treading slow with this heavy load
All these skeletons but your my rib, turning spiritual
Can't forget this love is sacrifice, my problems letting go
We might have to let it die, but I'm so afraid of ghosts
Hanging on by a thread while I hang on every note
You're my siren on the rock, shipwrecking every boat
Now a n***a sinking deep like a couple semicoats
So you better pick your poison choose it wisely
Sip slow and then invite me, yeah
To partake in what's been hurting your soul
Cause I've been yearning to know
[Chorus: Rachel Chinouriri]
Maybe this time, beneath the burning coal
You'll find the ziptides, that turn the love to stone
We'll do it all again, all again
Is it worth it, are the wounds too perfect?
[Post-Chorus: Che Lingo]
Pick your poison choose it wisely
Sip slow and then invite me, yeah
To partake in what's been hurting your soul
Cause I've been yearning to know
Head up, I've been on the verge of exploding
But I don't want this shrapnel to deter you from growth
So I've been working from home, getting burst in my zone
There's a fortress round this heart of mine, should I let you in I can't decide
