Who Told You, you were Naked in the Dark?)

© Copyright 2026 - Peter PHIR! You told me fruit was just a piece of fruit A silver promise on a quiet tongue I took the bite and let the poison root And lied about the song we had sung I knew the cost before the light was gone Who told you you were naked in the dark? Was it וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ (serpent) or your own dark heart? We pass the blame around the dinner table Calling every Kadosh truth a fable Oh, who told you you were naked in the dark? I saw the crowd alignment in the street They bore false witness with a righteous smile I tracked the stranger with my dusty feet And joined the jury on the sacred mile I pointed fingers just to clean my hands Who told you you were naked in the dark? Was it וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ (serpent) or your own dark heart? We pass the blame around the dinner table Calling every Kadosh truth a fable Oh, who told you you were naked in the dark? The woman gave me what I sought to hold The serpent וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ whispered what I wished to hear I traded mercy for a pot of gold And disguised my cover-up as holy fear I am the guilty one who built the cage I am the author of my own dark page Who told you you were naked in the dark? Was it וְהַנָּחָשׁ֙ the serpent or your own dark heart? We pass the blame around the dinner table Calling every kadosh truth a fable Oh, who told you you were naked in the dark? I hid my face inside the garden trees Falling down upon my bruised knees Who told you you were naked in the dark? It was me... it was always me... © Copyright 2026 - Peter PHIR!
