i go through his entire album 'amir' and point out the lyrics that kick me in the gut and tell me to kneel

• habibi
  • and though he's not alone, he fears to never love another//and leave his heart forever in her smile
  • you loved it then, so did i//a feeling deep inside you wants to love it all again
  • if only i'd forget you after one last dance//but you're everywhere, yes you are//in every melody and in every little scar
• sun may shine
  • sun may shine, sun may shine//just right now it won't rise
  • troubled by a sound//vile and yet devout//in your eyes//there lays no caress//they could not shine less
• tummy
  • i'm no longer found//sex got all my pride//i'm no longer found
  • like you almost//have a lust//for making something of me
  • i'm no longer found//love got all my dime//i'm no longer found
  • flying in the sky like cupid//hypocrite
• chambers
  • if it's ours and ours to use//how can we refuse a cease of fire?//between your heart and mine
  • in your false withdrawl//you'll have me rise, you'll have me fall
  • _though lately you have come to realize//that for your bullets that you fire//i'm the main supplier//i'm the one//the trigger for your gun
• so it goes
  • gave the golden sceptre, though it was never really mine
  • slept on the whitest beaches in the calmest of nights//they kept me chained and captive so i//could never join the sea and it's ever changing tides
  • the crown remains, it's always been mine//i ought to wear it better, i ought to know it now
• indigo night
  • he says, "i, i have seen the worlds most beautiful places still i feel, as if i am a walking machine watching it all through a screen. there is nothing in between to me, this might as well not be real"
  • and he cries "why can't i sing along with some feeling or some meaning? it feels like i've always been blind. i don't know why you girls are so kind, for there are so many in line whose lives aren't as lost as mine"
• cigar
  • why do i still care about those who might recall me//for everything dies, so does memory
  • death suits you dear sir, like a beautiful coat, but then without all the fur//i wonder would it fit me? what would you have me prefer
  • some people would rather not exist, they put a gun to their heart or a knife to their wrist//we are to think they aren't smart, it could be something i missed
• each time
  • it's where i start believing in a world for me//an atmosphere still enveloped by young love
• verses
  • life was not aware of me, and i was not aware of life//now it's flames the warm my heart, they light the path towards him
    • it's a little gay but these lyrics remind me of jay
  • come babe, let love have this evening
• w.o.t.h
  • hey just do us all a favor//keep what you got goin as is//no one else could match your flavor//nothing here exceeds what you are
  • from no form of invitation//to, singing along with your chant//strings of my imagination//now gracefully strung by your hand
  • i'm fully alert//but just close my eyes on the way down
  • but the will of this heart, won't have me looking down
• intervals
  • dodging needles takes a lot//being up here you could drop//every bubble has it's pop//you'll become what you are not
  • our touch crosses oceans
• persephone
  • yes my love, i confess to you//i am only here to break your heart in two
  • "be wary of my rivers undertow//it flows with water from the coldest source"//did you hear?
  • indeed, it's wrong to keep you near me//one could call me cruel and deceiving//but in your sacred air i am full of light//yes your loving arms are full the true delight//to which i'm lost
  • you have come to love, yes you've come to love//what you always will fear
