[Intro: phem]

Glitter and glue

A perfect night's a nightmare too

I feel so cold, vivid blue

Shades of pink and shades of you

[Verse 1: mgk]

Uh, this feels like the opposite of real life

On my way to Valhalla on a steel bike

Living fantasy like J.K. Rowling

I'm J.R.R. Tolkien, these spliffs I love smokin'

My hands full of stones and gold

I'm Lord of the Rings, needles sewed, new clothes

But it's more than it seems, I seen dreams implode

Seen teens turn old before they grown

Burnt out before they fade away slow

I used to pick you up, now I don't

There's some things I would rewind, but I don't have thе remote

Therе's some things I manifested I wish I never wrote

And all my friends? Really family, 'cause my bloodline's ghost (Uh-uh)

[Pre-Chorus: mgk]

Yeah, it's the life we chose

Highways and Hellcats with Angel Wing doors

I know I look back, the path went rogue

I know I look back, I'm halfway home (I'm halfway home)

[Chorus: mgk, phem, mgk & phem]

So far away from where you are (Uh-uh)

Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up

But I'm not sorry

And I will meet you where you are (Uh-uh; yeah)

I make my own luck

Because I don't believe in karma

[Verse 2: mgk]

I stopped countin' my age

Because my face still look the same

So instead of years, I use pain

And if that's the case, then I'm five hunnid

I been in a race with my trauma, can't outrun it

No wonder why I drive like I'm being chased

Pack up and move houses instead of renovate

Put my newborn daughter to bed at eight

Then I'm back on the interstate

Chain-smoking, lookin' like I'm 'bout to hyperventilate

Got everything to celebrate on the outside

Still none of that eliminates what is inside

And since I've gotta find a way to cope

I start by reversin' some of the words I wrote

Instead of being a demon, be a beacon of hope

'Cause one day we're hangin' out

The next day you're hangin' from a rope, uh

[Chorus: mgk, phem, mgk & phem]

So far away from where you are (Uh-uh)

Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up

But I'm not sorry

And I will meet you where you are (Uh-uh; yeah)

I make my own luck

Because I don't believe in karma

[Post-Chorus: mgk, mgk & phem]

(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)

Without a cause, I know I'm fucked up

But I'm not sorry

(La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la)

I make my own luck

Because I don't believe in karma

[Bridge: mgk]

Yeah, this feels like the opposite of real life

Uh, yeah

This feels like the opposite of real life

Uh, yeah, mm-mm

[Outro: phem]

Glitter and glue

A perfect night's a nightmare too

I feel so cold, vivid blue

Shades of pink and shades of you
