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)
