Sleeper

(album: Shoals - 2022)

Days give away
Constants fade
There's a creature in my ribcage
They'll kiss like a flick knife
Make love like machinery
You're leaking from your calcium canopy

I wanna be a backseat child
Don't wanna be scared to die

Let's snort electricity
Cut lines of plasticine
Ride the guillotine
Let's drown in gasoline
I'm losing friends
And is there anybody out there
I wish I was a sleeper
I wish I was a dreamer

I wanna be a vaccined child
Don't wanna be scared to die
I wanna be smoke-screened child
I don't wanna be scared for life

And I'll wean myself off love and medicine
Break bread with the devil in me
Tear flesh from my skeleton
Just to feel something genuine
On our hands' modernity
Children in parenthesis
Is this our infinity?
Is this our infinity?

All gone
Same ground
Fall down
Fall down
My lights are stalling
From no place
From no place
It's all plasticine
