Explain My Heart - Saul Williams

The war I feel in me

Natural catastrophe

A tremor in the heart

Where feelings have their start

The blood flows to the brain

Each feeling gets a name

And gets its turn to speak

When feelings reach their peak

The voices of un-named

The sane labelled insane

The truth is changing lanes

As I’m crossing the street

My heart break skips a beat

The noises of the street

Like lava through my veins

The love I can’t explain

I take my heart and I divvy it

Separate pawns in the city blocks

I walk around on the city blocks

Until my sirens enter my thoughts

Explain to me the price of a free soul

It seems to me each highway has it’s toll

I take my heart and I divvy it

Separate pawns in the city blocks

I walk around on the city blocks

Until my sirens enter my thoughts

It seems to me each highway has it’s name

But there’s something I can’t explain

Explain my heart

I take my heart and I divvy it

Separate pawns in the city blocks

I walk around on the city blocks

Until my sirens enter my thoughts

It sees in every heart that beats

Employ the streets for weeks

Into the soldiers of my mind

If I can enjoy the pain

My heart’s the same as them this time

Explain my heart

Divided heart

Divided testament

Mummified by dogmas

The present has no history

There’s no time like the present

No better place to be

Than where you are

Within my heart

Like within you

Is me

Explain my heart
