You Kill Me

by Mark Zucker

I can’t have ya but ya haunt me

cuz I want ya cuz ya kill me

The pressure of your essence

Makes it stressful to stay present

Hard to say just something pleasant

While my body, I’m confessin’

Is commencin’ a-pay attention

And flashing threatenin’ intentions

Even suggesting some aggression

That would scandalize convention

But I’m just sayin’ just to mention

That ya kill me

I can’t have ya but ya haunt me

cuz I want ya cuz ya kill me

Sittin’ in my seat all ten toes tappin’ out a beat

I swear I fear a kind of heat if our eyes do chance to meet

Cuz my mouth keeps talking sweetly while my body screams obscenely

I can feel our poles align, our frequencies receiving

Yes, to one another’s sun all our flowers are all leaning

Our bodies just might topple if we surrender to the feeling

But it’ll never happen and that’s why you see me reeling

So I’ll just stand here rapping just to keep myself from kneeling

You only thrill me just to kill me

Must you fill me just to spill me?

I can’t have ya but ya haunt me

cuz I want ya cuz ya kill me
