God for a Day
Embracing Divinity: Hana Malhas' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Say goodnight, I'm alone
Saying farewell for the night, feeling isolated
My lungs command my voice
My breathing controls my speech
Turning breath into moan, leaving me no choice
Converting breath into a sigh or lament, feeling compelled
These outbursts of sound can't be tamed
Emotional outpourings cannot be restrained
They're wearing me down and offer no refrain
They exhaust me and offer no relief or rest
It's my unraveling, it's perfectly timed
My breakdown is occurring precisely at the right moment
My skin is glistening with sweat tears and wine
My body shows signs of intense emotion—sweat, tears, and alcohol
I'll be a god today, I'll silence this cry
Today, I'll feel powerful and in control, stopping this cry
I'll build a dam, to diffuse the waves and hold this wall up high
I'll create a barrier to stop overwhelming emotions and maintain control
I'll erase what's been done, I'll deny my grief
No emotional storms to provoke turmoil
No wailing winds to rile up the seas
No emotional storms
No wailing winds
-No wailing winds
-No wailing winds, to rile up seas and shake up their beds
No emotional storms to provoke chaos and unsettlement
Oh please, leave me be
Pleading for solitude, to be left alone
I'll be a god today, I'll silence this cry
Today, I'll feel powerful and in control, stopping this cry
I'll build a dam, to diffuse the waves and hold this wall up high
I'll create a barrier to stop overwhelming emotions and maintain control
It's my unraveling, it's perfectly timed
My breakdown is occurring precisely at the right moment
My skin is glistening with sweat tears and wine
My body shows signs of intense emotion—sweat, tears, and alcohol
