Gunfire explosion
I want that guaranteed
Sometimes I feel I coexist with me
And one side makes me old
And one side makes me struggle
I was on the night shift
I said I’ll never learn to fight like this
In the meantime I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In my moon mind, summertime, catch a break
Changed by Folk Implosion
When I was 17
Sometimes I feel diminished by beauty
Cuz one night she is cold
The next she’s making me doubles
I’m drinking moonshine
Cuz I’ve had enough of starlight
In the meantime I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In my moon mind, gonna catch a right, let it break
So just sit back
(I don’t mind)
And see how long that this takes
(I don’t mind saying)
don’t you see I had to pay for that
I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back
Death will come by ocean
I want that guaranteed
Sometimes I feel I’m authoring a dream
In the meantime I’m gonna shut it tight like my briefcase
Cuz in my moonmind, it’s a summer night and I watch it break
so just sit back
(I don’t mind)
See how long that this takes
(I don’t mind saying)
Don’t you see I had to pay for that
(I don’t mind)
I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back
I paid for that
(I won’t let go)
With very many stacks
I paid for that
(I won’t let go)
And now you’ll pay me back
Now you’ll pay me back
(I won’t let go)
