[Verse 1: Veela]

Pick up, "Hey, are you awake?"

My mortem, not hard to fake

White knuckles, it's not give and take, it's all luck

It's all harder than anticipated

Future heart, race, palpitate

Can I make art that alleviates my thoughts?

My thoughts

[Chorus: Veela]

I'm stayin' solemn

So fix your life instead, you're all in

I'll be out here wasting, solemn

If I cared, I forget it all

I choose smoke and mirrors (Ugh)

Like, what am I missing? (Ugh)

Tell me I look sick, I'm just solemn

And it's none of your business

'Cause I choose smoke and mirrors

[Verse 2: Veela]

So long

I consumed all my uses

I exist as a nuisance

Why run, when I can walk? (Can walk)

Keep on losing, I been choosing all the

Low, easiest things to be doing

I fell away, gave into ruin

Back away and don't call her human

[Verse 3: My City Glory, My City Glory & Veela]

I needed time alone, let a fire grow

But it’s a prison

Cut to smoke and watch it choke

Out my ambition

See it turn to ash and burn

Got tunnel vision

Closing in and

I'm invokin', going kamikaze

Blowing up my life 'cause I’m impatient

Try to stop me, but I feel alive when I’m in stasis, ugh

It’s my innate gift, borderline evasive

Rather sit and watch the world burn in amazement, ugh

[Verse 4: Veela]

And so far

I've participated, held a grudge

And I've cultivated it, no love

I let devastate my heart

My heart

[Chorus: My City Glory & Veela]

'Cause I'm solemn

So fix your life instead, you're all in

I'll be out here wasting, solemn

If I cared, I forget it all

I choose smoke and mirrors (Ugh)

Like, what am I missing? (Ugh)

Tell me I look sick, I'm just solemn

And it's none of your business

'Cause I choose smoke and mirrors

[Outro: My City Glory & Veela, Veela]

Sure, take me out

It never goes right

Let me drown in the chemical, and I

Am washed in the M.A.O

Let me drown in the chemical
