about

This song was written in loving memory of my partner, Marissa Snoddy.

lyrics

i wished on a star
and it made it to you
i made bait out of a bar,
and you gave it a chew,
that’s a meaty win,
savor the juice
you and i, shared a love,
that was brave as the truth

and who could question our results?
our destinies and hopes
felt as certain as that first brigade of
blessings did for Job
the universe selected us to
catch each other’s souls
and every scar we grew apart only
prepared us to be whole

so the fusion’s not the sum of its fractions,
it's even greater
we’re crusaders for a
better humanity for our neighbors
friends and family and strangers,
let their weariness fade
i get gassed within your aura
i get carried away

so let’s get married today?
my bad, i’m working on my wing of this
to even up the balance and
strengthen my flimsy links a bit
i think i’m on the brink of succeeding,
i used to dream of this
a team no one could deem outta sync,
when they get to see us live


and i’m wishing on
all the people we’ve ever been
and i’m wishing on
all the colors we’ve ever known
and i’m wishing on
all the shoes that we walked within
and i’m wishing on
all the beaches we ever go
and i’m wishing on
all the dreams we have yet to dream
and i’m wishing on
all the places we’ve never seen
and i’m wishing i’ll wake up
and you’ll come back to me
and i’m wishing i’ll wake up
and you’ll come back to me


on star spangled nights,
we park atop Moeser
and watch the city lights
and the cars zipping by
ribbon sky,
if it’s above the horizon it’s hypnotizing
we’re the lions
and this world is our jungle, fuck being humble

may the mumbles be roars,
may they rumble enormously
as a deafening chorus,
every "i love you" is weighted
like we ain’t said it before,
it’s a prayer and it’s a miracle
every hug is a testimony,
every kiss a spiritual

when we’re together baby,
feels like i knew you forever
from just a word we can
complete each other’s lectures
and it’s never enough,
we’ll never be separated
if you ever change directions
then my steps will correlate

it’s me and you,
til my body is breaking and it decays
me and you,
til the atoms that make me have been unmade
i’ll never give you up,
the suggestion is so profane,
i’ll be looking to the heavens
to find you on Moeser Lane


and i’m wishing on
all the dreams we have yet to dream
and i’m wishing on
all the dreams we have yet to dream
and i’m wishing i’ll wake up
and you’ll come back to me
and i’m wishing i’ll wake up
and you’ll come back to me

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
