Eden Lyrics by Iris Temple

Duality

2016

Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?

Get down with a little bit of soul searching
Make it my sole purpose
Whole earth is old surface
Old lessons, gold serpents
They slither, so nervous
Look good, but they bite your ass
Might like to ask
What the fuck did I possibly do to deserve this?
Remember when we danced around that tree of life?
Remember when you called for me?
Couldn't hear your voice, I was speeding by
You were in Eden and I was the heathen
I'm really not meaning to leave you behind
The deeper the meaning
I'm thinking I'm dreaming
I'm really not mean, I'm just speaking my mind

I've tried, but I can't follow you much longer
I've tried, but I can't follow you much longer

Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?
Oh lord, oh lord, what a nigga like me gon' do?

Taking a leap of faith
Hoping I can see the day that you can leave this place
Arrivederci
Swear it ain't heresy
Only a narrative
I'm gonna serenade
Clarity coming at last
Serenity seeking
Calamity riddles my path, like pot-holes
I chose this road
God knows-

I've tried, but I can't follow you much longer

Open the gates
Please let me in
I'm here to see the garden
The place from where I started
Before the fall
Before it all went south

Look at me now
Sought out to gain some renown
Came face to face with myself
Dwelt in the clouds till my first taste of the ground
It was bitter, but a new taste nonetheless
If my crusade hadn't left
If my true fate wasn't met
I got my bruises and I bled, red

I bled red to show you that I can't be stopped short
Short of the fountain
Youthfulness is leaking over edges
Been seeking better things
I've been protected, by a fine line
I swear I've been blind
But look at me
I know what you see
You're so sure heaven's close
What matters most will show itself, and let us grow

Could this be heaven?
Could this be heaven?
Could this be heaven?
Would it even matter? (matter)

Could this be?
Could this be?
Could this be heaven?
Would it even matter?
