LAW III (ADAM)

[Intro]
...when you lived in the ghetto [?]

[Verse: Elysia Crampton]
I couldn't see you yet
You were right next to me
So close, I, Adam
Unfathomably close
But I couldn't tell
Pinprick portal to yourself
You could be seen only through you
So, when you appeared, terrified of losing you that moment
I looked as hard as I could
Nailing you with my gaze
Arrow, I fell
Exhausted in the wound of your being
Coil plastic magnet
Expert analyst
Interminable
Sovereign violence
You weren't you
Sowetan kisses
Sticking flesh to ribcages
And floating in nothing
But you were always more than you
A teardrop that was a rose
That was a blade, a body, a city
Your reality was ours, conflict mineral
Emerald, diamond rose mine
So faithfully I carried you
That you didn't seem like what you were
Shrinking always from yourself
Burning spacetime worm
Eyelid opening into new day
Waterfall falling on yourself
Smiling dummy child running fire
Shining like a whale
Turning in an immense ocean of night
