Repeater - Jelani Blackman

You said you knew me before

Don’t let the moonlight deceive you

I’m leaving cracks in the door

With only shadows to see through

Theres no way this illusion could maintain

I would follow the tracks in your mind

And each one that I’d stroll down would relapse

Into cycular paths over time

I’m so sure that this feeling will keep on

Many eager to seek a rewind

But my next thing will still be my history

And that too I’ll soon leave behind

I sense years passing by in a heartbeat

Can’t work out the dusk from the dawn

Unwavering pull of the repeat

Then my shadow to keep when I’m gone

My world is arrays of the faces

I will hold onto yours while I can

But we’re moving at alternate paces

I’ll be damned if I stick to the plan

You said you knew me before

Don’t let the moonlight deceive you

I’m leaving cracks in the door

With only shadows to reach through

Moonlight is blinding light find me in the spot where you left your time in

Only shadows I’m providing

Light shallow on horizon

Writhing amongst the pythons

Can’t see their end

Why would you know who, where or when

Barely anything in how we’re acting

Just wanna feel your heartbeat reacting

You said you knew me before

Don’t let the moonlight deceive you

I’m leaving cracks in the door

With only shadows to see through

Theres no way this illusion could maintain

I would follow the cracks in your mind

And each one that I’d stroll down would relapse

Into cycular paths over time

I’m so sure that this feeling will keep on

Many eager to seek a rewind

But my next thing will still be my history

And that too I’l soon leave behind

You said you knew me before

Don’t let the feelings deceive you

After this dream then I’m gone
