Come On

By Newdles

[Verse 1]

My skin was your mortar and bricks

A portraiture of Dorian

Absorbing every mortal sin

My trauma grew beneath your empire

Now it’s doomed for demolishment

And you can’t bear the cost of it

Give up preserving fantasy

Trade glamor for consciousness and


[Chorus]

Come on, come on

My soul will starve without sunlight


[Verse 2]

It’s time to sell all that you own

The shells, the skin you have outgrown

Paradigms you have and hold

What helped you in the past to cope

Your principles, your shelter

Your possessions and possessors

Stigma, pride and surrenders

The best bеts that you settled for

Your coping mechanisms

Your flags, your guns, your languagеs

Your way of life, social mores

Your signs, your streets and corner stores

All of it’s ephemeral

It was never meant to hold you for so long

And you won’t carry out more than you carried in


[Chorus]

Come on, come on

My soul will starve without sunlight


[Verse 3]

I don’t want your alliance

I don’t want your sordid gifts

I don’t want this brothel that I broke myself out to be fixed

I don’t want your penitence

I don’t want your bandages

I don’t want you pleasing, pacifying me or pandering

Give me your roots and your crown

I want your temple walls down

I want all you spent your life building in ashes on the ground

You don’t want to change a thing

You just want a cozy costless

Grooming to your preferences, come on come on come—


[Chorus]

Come on, come on

My soul will starve without sunlight

Come on, come on

I want to see you all outside


[Outro]

Everything you love will kill you

Everything you love will kill you

Everything you love and all that keeps you stable

Is gonna choke out your soul and then asphyxiate you

Everything you love will kill you

Everything you love will kill you
