[Intro: Keato]

I’ve been uh… trying to find the right way to put it like…

I don’t really know how to… how to say this in the right but um…

I’m just trying to find… trying to find something

I’ve been looking for while um… but it just hasn’t come to me and…

I need to… I find it hard to articulate what I’m trying to get across and like…

I just don’t wanna be dishonest like… fuck it


[Verse 1: Jack Webster]

Revolution in the air I’m trynna keep my head up

Switch from back and forth I need it trynna keep my weight up

Ever since I felt this way I’m lying just to stay up

Try to pull me closer but nah I just don’t feel it now

And that’s why I gotta get my around it every day becomes another nightmare

Never listened to anyone with no-one to answer my prayers

But I guess that’s just the way life goes on please get me out of this atmosphere

When I’m more connected to myself with no reality man


[Chorus: Keato]

Run through this ghost town

Feet on fading ground

Lock in play your role

Before they take it all


[Verse 2: Samson]

My reflection’s been distorted since birth

Cos I’m using your perception to determine my worth

But that’s not of any value when the lights go out

Now I’m fighting with myself is this the final bout

I’ve had a fifth I plead the fifth I’m adamant I find a drive I’m out of it

I’m out my mind you had the right to take the kid I had a fit the downward slide to my abyss

You tell me to cease and desist while we’re deep in a trip but I can’t help but re-reminisce cos that season was bliss

And I know I can’t blame you for this and you know you can’t save me from this

But I’m craving your kiss and I thought I was braver than this I’m a slave to addiction

And this pain got me at my wits end

Your disdain make me feeling distant

Flee tonight I wanna cease what’s mine I’m sick of seeming fine yeah

I believe that it’s me I need to redefine but I need the time yeah

Feeling isolated Kali Uchis thought we could only be sad in movies

Maybe I’d smile if I has a two-piece

Or a new whip cos that’s how we do things

I know I’m an ass hole but tell me anyway

Clouds inside me might as well let it rain

Never gonna change plummet in this chasm

When I go alone I can’t wonder what happened


[Chorus: Keato]

Run through this ghost town

Feet on fading ground

Lock in play your role

Before they take it all


[Bridge: Keato]

Don’t take me serious, Eddie’s delirious

I probably will have kids, who knows if they’ll hear this

And I got room for you, I know you don’t fit in

Neither do I baby, that’s why we fight baby

Is this real life baby? I hope it isn’t something’s missing

Begin to feel the distance, cos you can tell I’m switching

But I’m fine now, I feel alright now

I decide now, I’m live now

I feel the vibe now and man I climbed out

Did you find out? I feel inside out

Lights out, lights out, yeah

Mmm mmm mmm mmm

I don’t do it for you, I do it for me, I’m selfish
