In Contemplation of Clair’s Scent Lyrics by Terence Etc.

Vortex

2022

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I found your spot
She said it was hidden
Between our last decision
And me
You are not locked off to anyone
I think anyone
Except me
Accept me
[Chorus]
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
[Verse 2]
You smell like Black girl
Black around your lips
Black around your voice
Black, I say Black
Don't it stick to the back
Of your eyelids?
Kids, say it with me now
Black (Black)
Black (Black)
But only if you think it's a good thing indeed
The greatest thing
Since maybe water
[Chorus]
You'rе like that
You're like that
You'rе like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
You're like that
[Instrumental Break]
[Break]
(One more, let's go)
[Verse 3]
This is not our last stop
This my favorite part
I know you're over all the loss
Today, we make a new start
Start with our two spirits
Never finish with no hearts
Pain is like a star
It collapses on its— aw
That's just how it starts
Believe me, I'm still mad
But we on a new level
No more trauma in our bond
Pain leaves our body, we observe it from afar
I've seen the pain leave a star
Told my pain, "Boy, stop"
[Verse 4]
I say she Black, my God and her
I shan't go far 'cause I prefer
That post historic garden hurt
Where I lost first what I refer to
As her mouth who knows no south
No small change, no home or house
Now she say Venus, I say Mars
So, I'd be wrong with my last charge
So, I'd say moon and she'd say sun
Said I'd be burned for looking on
People saw my sight was gone
She's brighter than the darkest dawn
I found that spot where body born
Found that spot that I suckled on
Found that spot that she weaned me from
And sang to it enchanted songs in story form
About how she had had a harem and a monastery
And had, you know, to my memory, sat me in her reliquary and, uh, kept me there
"Prayer works," says the dead
"Prayer hurts," says my head
And then sin, of course
Intercourse, evil twins
Babble talk, that baby walk
The angels fall, the flood begins
She killed you all, a goddess scorned
It's nothing like its shape or form
Real or myth, Jedi Sith
I threw a kiss, I couldn't tell if I hit or missed
No genesis, so moving on
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It came apart, it came apart
Right at the edge of our skill
Right when I could not perform
You saw my lackluster
You saw my lack of luster
You saw my lackluster and its charm
It came apart, it came apart
Right at the edge of my skill
Right when I could not perform
And I saw your slyness
I saw your guile
I saw your scheme and its charm
I saw your splendor
And I saw your mystique
I saw your August and its charm
And its charm
