elliott power - banshee lyrics
verse 1
drown in dreams
not quite sure what this all means
surrounding me
she wants for more a l-st for greed
the same old needs
lost i pause then watch her weep
to weep to wail to wail to weep
stop start then go again
deep breath gulping swallowing
harrowing sight inside tonight
close my eyes refuse to open them (broken)
lost my way and days spent moping hoping
the game i play rewards no tokens chosen
few that knew now in pursuit
astute are you acute you move
as you deceive through pours you seep
to weep to wail to wail to weep
now i’m back to lack of sleep
paralysis on cotton sheets
eight hundred threads bring me no peace
these obscene scenes that i’ve seen
places faces dreamt in dreams
deemed mean unclean go unseen
chases mazes dreamt in dreams
what does this all mean?
chorus: (aretha)
failing to move
hand in hand
i’m slow
verse 2
drown in dreams
down below in depths so deep
astounding scenes
to sink or swim then in-between
the depths beneath
a simple kiss that captured me
to weep to wail to wail to weep
bon voyage
no oasis just mirage
parched starved bruised and scarred
in desperate need no drip in flask
survival now the only task
before i take my last gasp
dark path road to redemption
outcast woes that we mention
hard task so stark think fast
don’t know the dimensions
still yet to have the last laugh
who’ll pay the toll of rejection
chorus: (aretha)
failing to move
hand in hand
(hold my hearts in place)
(hold my hearts in place)
i’m slow
bridge: (miink)
fall in close to me
calling ghosts to scenes
not enough enough
to roll alone
tell me what you want
what you want
tell me what you want
chorus: (aretha)
failing to move
hand in hand
i’m slow
hook:
drown in dreams
not quite sure what this all means
surrounding me
she wants for more a l-st for greed
the same old needs
lost i pause then watch her weep
to weep to wail to wail to weep (stop)
verse 3: frostar
and they can see teeth like goofy
new cheese got my head waved like a coolie
i’m stressed out thinking ’bout my goonies
they’re trying to put them in-front of judge judy
yeah it’s like that i supplied crack
to fiends that would walk eight miles for these white wraps
i’m trying to stay far from where the crimes at
but it’s hard ’cause i’m really trying to find stacks
devil in my mind i’m really trying to fight back
dripping melanin got them giving me them wide stairs
getting to the top like a n-gg-rs got to climb stairs
but i’ll be getting money till i lie flat eyes back
