about

Written in Uzbekistan with Hamza Beg 2011

lyrics

There are plenty of places to play at praying
Places that plough pathways to you
Down my cheeks, Down my chin
As i crumble in cold humiliation
As i feel you
Heart beating with every sob

Relief plastered on walls
Enlayed with exaulsion
Carved Intricately
Fingers that follow scripture
Tongues that twist Turquoise
Below hushed verses
Veneration
That Pumps blood
From heart to brain and there you lay
Closer than the vein in my neck
Tracing every breath of mine,
Of Yours

To Allah we belong to him is our return
