Titilope Sonuga - Ghost / How to Heal lyrics
Artist: Titilope Sonuga
album: Swim
You loved a ghost so hard it swallowed your heart
Bloodied your hands to polish it's face
Till it shone back, a mirror reflection
You kissed that shadow into being
Taught it how to feel, laugh, speak human-Like
No one ever taught you the alchemy of your love,
It's magic animates the bones of even the most fossilized
In the end, what you really miss is your own heart's beat echoed back
You don't miss them
What you miss is yourself.
So this is how you heal the wound:
One, cleanse with salt water.
It is the only way to release the poison.
Two, you will need a healing balm, more love
More love, be generous in your application
Three, let the wound breathe.
Do not cover it until it festers and rots.
Speak it and let it go,
Let it go.
Four, do not ever pick the scab.
Bloodied your hands to polish it's face
Till it shone back, a mirror reflection
You kissed that shadow into being
Taught it how to feel, laugh, speak human-Like
No one ever taught you the alchemy of your love,
It's magic animates the bones of even the most fossilized
In the end, what you really miss is your own heart's beat echoed back
You don't miss them
What you miss is yourself.
So this is how you heal the wound:
One, cleanse with salt water.
It is the only way to release the poison.
Two, you will need a healing balm, more love
More love, be generous in your application
Three, let the wound breathe.
Do not cover it until it festers and rots.
Speak it and let it go,
Let it go.
Four, do not ever pick the scab.
