lyrics

Ho Ko Po
Lyrics/Composition/Arrangement/MV: ALIS HOWS

She’s out there, out there
Somewhere, nowhere
We were unsaved, unsaved
Here stayed, between states

Got a visitor of a stranger’s face
Not a kin we knew but that’s what she said
She came and cared
Until she’s fed on flesh
She came and cared
Until she’s fed on flesh

The boiling in my pot
No one to stop the pouring of my wrath
A crime to protect my human body shape
Or what’s left

The boiling in my pot
No one to tell the recipe of choice
Survive the shame
Bury that finger snack
Hurray

She’s out there, out there
Somewhere, nowhere
We were unsaved, unsaved
Here stayed, between states

Got a visitor of an animal face
Not a cat I knew but I reckoned that stare
She came and cared
Until she’s fed on flesh
She came and cared
Until she’s fed on flesh

The boiling in my pot
No one to stop the pouring of my wrath
Let cry exchange the rest of innocence
Farewell

The boiling in my pot
No one to tell the recipe of choice
Survive the shame
Bury that finger snack
Hurray

(She’s) out there, out there
Somewhere, nowhere
(We were) unsaved, unsaved
One day, each day
