about
Very early shit.
lyrics
Turning over ships as we're passing over
Recklessly we serenade the people looking up
God laced the opium with a thousand roses
We can scatter the ashes when we're overdosing
Flex for sex or cigarettes yet
Bet the best will sweat the bed
When they're out here boasting
I can numb the mind with the dumb sublime
But if you're looking kinda fine then you're out of line
Like when they’re far away then it's a beautiful sight
Because a portrait of glamour is my usual type
When we walk towards the warped gorgeous light
We contort the sight 'til it's fight or flight
So you can hype the mic or you can smite the right
But when you're looking in the mirror you're a Canaanite
Tear down the mirror and your usual poses
You can burn down the bush til you find the roses
Turn your back on the world throw your hands to Moses
But nobody's ever looking when the curtain closes
Turning over ships as we're passing over
Recklessly we serenade the people looking up
Never was I tethered to my usual endeavours
When I tried to change my patterns I felt light as a feather
Under stormy weather, I tried to keep it together
And yet my room was getting colder, skin as purple as heather
Time to burn it all down, time to start afresh
Yeah the hill glowed red as it burned my flesh
If I look unkept, can you just accept
That my backwards step’s just to self-reflect
Free-throw to my ego leave me strangled by seagulls
Screaming out to God as I fall from the steeple
And yet I’m landing on my feet, I’m at one with the people
Queueing up to purgatory to stare through some peepholes
That was another life and now I’m born again
Still my poltergeist wants to reign again
Make your sacrifice and wash away the pain
Because we’ve all got demons stalking heaven’s gates
Recklessly we serenade the people looking up
God laced the opium with a thousand roses
We can scatter the ashes when we're overdosing
Flex for sex or cigarettes yet
Bet the best will sweat the bed
When they're out here boasting
I can numb the mind with the dumb sublime
But if you're looking kinda fine then you're out of line
Like when they’re far away then it's a beautiful sight
Because a portrait of glamour is my usual type
When we walk towards the warped gorgeous light
We contort the sight 'til it's fight or flight
So you can hype the mic or you can smite the right
But when you're looking in the mirror you're a Canaanite
Tear down the mirror and your usual poses
You can burn down the bush til you find the roses
Turn your back on the world throw your hands to Moses
But nobody's ever looking when the curtain closes
Turning over ships as we're passing over
Recklessly we serenade the people looking up
Never was I tethered to my usual endeavours
When I tried to change my patterns I felt light as a feather
Under stormy weather, I tried to keep it together
And yet my room was getting colder, skin as purple as heather
Time to burn it all down, time to start afresh
Yeah the hill glowed red as it burned my flesh
If I look unkept, can you just accept
That my backwards step’s just to self-reflect
Free-throw to my ego leave me strangled by seagulls
Screaming out to God as I fall from the steeple
And yet I’m landing on my feet, I’m at one with the people
Queueing up to purgatory to stare through some peepholes
That was another life and now I’m born again
Still my poltergeist wants to reign again
Make your sacrifice and wash away the pain
Because we’ve all got demons stalking heaven’s gates
