Strip Lights by Emzae Lyrics

Oh my god
What is this dystopia
That I blinked and we’re floating in?

TV clips online
From 1995
Are my make believe medicine

Sit in the bar and listen
I just blur my vision
Til the sparkles are just coloured dots

And I don’t wanna be
In this reality
Of dying ends as we pretend
Everything is better than it ever has been

It’s not your fault
I think I’ve lost my light
My guiding star is hiding somewhere tonight
And honestly
I think i’m finding it hard just to be
Nothing new
Wish the opposite were true
But the territory has been worn
Thе patterns appear
With the roots in my hair
Can’t run from thе way you were born

I leave to no surprise
And as my lift arrives
Sit in the back seat
Chapel street flashing by

And I stare out to space
Apologise in case
But when i say goodnight
Voices fight
Whisper like a phaser through my stereo mind

And It’s not my fault
I think I lost my light
My guiding star is hiding somewhere tonight
And honestly
I think I’m finding it hard just to be

(Tired of the strip lights and late night messages
Take me somewhere I can rest my head)
I know it will pass I know it will pass
I know it won’t last forever I’ll stay together
I know it will pass I know it will pass
I know it won’t last forever we’ll be together
I know it will pass I know it will pass
I know it won’t last forever (til fade)
