jj shadow - child47 lyrics

[verse 1]
within a euphoria of all that’s musical
sits a little boy binging pharmaceuticals
as the clock tocks, he rocks back into the bed
hit him with a rock, no one knows what’s in his head
gets out of the hospital to watch the flowers bloom
’cause no one ever speaks when they walk into his room
destined for disconnection from the womb
to speak of which i never got to talk to you
but he could make waves, watch him change the station
a smile that could bring life to dying patients
but when he said “f+ck it” at that young age
broken spirits were puddles to his tidal waves
when the rain clears and a rainbow hits the earth
he knows the air will catch him if he falls into the dirt
the trees fill the air and all he needs is a sky
simple things, child 47 will fly

[chorus]
that’s that growing up in episodes
frames of the family captured in home videos
tapes in the dust but memories flood a genesis
underneath the tales of a spirit that’s remembering
so if we climb every tree finding higher views
we might break out of this experiment and find a new
life, the atmosphere will fill you and
keep it all love that’s the child within you
[verse 2]
within the dysphoria of the unusual
she tries her very best to get the food for her folks
she tries her very best, yet she sinks into the dirt
knowing she can fly but she has to find her wings!
and if a bird sings and she stumbles
it’s perfect, merging from room number+something
47, was it? forget the subject
in 25 minutes, you can see a nice sunset
she’ll rise from the downs, when the locals aren’t around
feel it in her legs as she pegs off the ground
the world will not be ready for what is to be is great
in a moment of time the rain comes and goes
and even if it hurts, ’cause the feelings never go
the world better be ready ’cause she’s starting to float
the stars fill the void and all she needs is a sky
child 47 is ready, watch her fly

[interlude: child47 & garden girl]
child47: we made it!!!

garden girl: yay!!!

c47: who are you??? i remember you but i don’t know where you came from?

g: i was made out of the ground, me and my whole family came from those plants you used your magic for!

c47: i did?

g: yeah! of course you did silly

c47: i can’t believe how high i flyed, i flyed like this high! i felt so free

g: i flyed so high too!!! i was like thiiiiisss high in the air, i could see so many lights and colours everywhere

c47: wait wait wait, do you hear the music?

g: i can i can!! it sounds so loud but it’s also beautiful

c47: look at all those people down there!
g: there’s like 7 of them! they’re children like us, except they’re really big

c47: i wonder if they could be our friends. they look like they’re dancing!

gg: let’s watch what they do. they’re turning their music up now!!!
