white comfort
chicken shit
when did you break all of your eggs
cos we're treading
you grew up
everywhere
I had to look real hard to see myself there
I'm ok
I love it
I feel real fine
I'm not even faking
imagined it all
it's between me and you
oh, I think just like you do
white comfort
disrupted
been quiet for long to keep the vibe lifted
don't tell me
what I can say
it's my country I've been here for days
me, I wanna throw it up
I guess something's wrong (don't) know why I said it
beat me in red
it's something to do
oh, I think just like you do

Rain (Acid)

have you heard the rain?
this rhythm could drive me insane
burning a hole in my brain
cold ashes of this old world
washed away down my sore throat
into a new age of acid that's
bubbling over like diamonds in foam
my baby's not well
I can see that she's seen some kind of hell
with the darkest glint in her eye
like she's taken it too far this time
played thumb wars with the devil and she's lost
thrust in a new cage that's wrapped around
panic and acid is my biggest foe
this palace is sick
there are dead bugs crushed into the brick
in yours they iridescently shine
but this one wields infinite time
holds it up to the sky like a sword
the spoils of this war between
good and good just brings evil again
they told this story very long ago
for some lucky people it was just an idea
to do you in, to do you in,
but we've both looked the other way
something of that place still lingers on
and it will do you in, do you in
but love just comes back through the door
announces itself like the gentlest of friends
it's always been here, how could we forget?
have you seen the sun?
burning up all my loved ones
frying your soul like a fish
this ocean got boiled to a dish
that we smashed and we crushed into dust
hoovered it up in your face and the mother cries
'is it real this time?'

wake me up silently
I don't wanna go to bed
wake me up silently
ghosts living in my head
hold my hand out
make an offering instead
hug them as tight as you can
make the monster your friend
hug them as tight as you can
the demon is an angel then
have courage dive into the deep end
the abyss is a bed of feathers, Terrence
be careful, keep it critical ok?
what is it, huh? what is it
you must take a chance with them
cos baby you're alone, again
hug them as tight as you can
make the monster your friend
hug them as tight as you can
the demon is an angel then

2020.2 (Get Munny)
02:19

|
sometimes I see people on instagram
eating fancy food in restaurants
and I think maybe I'd like to do that too
sometimes I see old friends on Facebook
falling in love and buying a dog
and I think maybe I'd like that too
but then I remember that everything I do
could never earn me a spot in that club
I'll carry on making my songs depressed and alone
worrying about how the world is falling apart
get munny ooh

Prometheus

I'll never go to sleep
I'm invincible
I'm invincible
I don't need to eat
I'm solid gold
I'll die before I'm dead
I'll die before I'm dead
now I'm punished
prometheus
the big bird cries
echoing through time
time
don't save me
leave me where I am
humming
to the ghost in my bones
space is love
I'll be like the blood
beating
in the back of my skull
don't be scared
I've made fear my friend
laughing
in the end
