lyrics

No I cannot keep it simple
Keep lookin' for signs and for symbols
Between the opposites
On and off again
Watch and wait
Lost the plot of it
In the thought of it
Walked off stage

Need it bold and immediate
And it all feels tedious
Look without seein' it
Get a hunch not enough to believe in it
And the days wanna humble me
Feel like I’m underneath
Lots that I wanna bring up
Starved for some company
That I won’t wanna leave
Lost and I wanna link up
Been blocked but I wanna speak up
Small talk's always gunna be tough
Want a drink and a walk
And the keys to the box that’s been locked
And I really need love

No I cannot keep it simple
Keep lookin' for signs and for symbols
Between the opposites
On and off again
Watch and wait
Lost the plot of it
In the thought of it
Walked off stage

It’s been less I could say with my chest
Seen lots I’m still not impressed
And the God that I talk to seems bored
Just keepin' it chill I guess
See no golden grapevine thats creepin' in reach
Went and got Reiki I just fell asleep
My angels won’t speak
They think it’s not that deep
So I spit grit my teeth
Yeah just livin'

No I cannot keep it simple
Keep lookin' for signs and for symbols
Between the opposites
On and off again
Watch and wait
Lost the plot of it
In the thought of it
Walked off stage
