Tokoloshe by Estre Lyrics
[Refrain: Raiza Biza]
Don't you bite at my ankles, don't scratch at my thoughts, don't you itch at my skin
Don't make me uneasy, it's hard to stay focused, the conflict within
'Cause my palms getting sweaty, it's like I ain't ready, I feel outta place
So I'm raisin' my bet, my pulse racin' instead, and my thoughts start to race
Race
Race
Race, race, race
[Chorus: Estère]
Tokoloshe (Tokoloshe)
Cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
Tokoloshe, (Tokoloshe)
O-oh, cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
[Verse 1: Raiza Biza]
I feel like I need to confess
I'm anxious, the speed of the beat in my chest–
Increases, it's like I'm receivin' a test
I guess I now know what delirious is
What a serious mess
Might stay in my room, I just lie in my bed
Might live in my thoughts, might reside in my head
The tokoloshe tryin' to find me again
Why me again?
I can't win
[Refrain: Raiza Biza]
Don't you bite at my ankles, don't scratch at my thoughts, don't you itch at my skin
Don't make me uneasy, it's hard to stay focused, the conflict within
'Cause my palms getting sweaty, it's like I ain't ready, I feel outta place
So I'm raisin' my bet, my pulse racin' instead, and my thoughts start to race
Race
Ra-ra-ra-race
Ra-ra-ra-race
[Chorus: Estère]
Tokoloshe (Tokoloshe)
Cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
Tokoloshe, (Tokoloshe)
O-oh, cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
[Verse 2: Raiza Biza]
I build up a wall of defense (Yeah)
I've chosen one side of the fence (Yeah)
I'm leavin', I'm packin' my things
I know now, it's clear you not one of my friends (Yeah)
I won't succumb to your voice now
I will not come when you call
I have no fear of the dark now
You don't control me at all
[Chorus: Estère]
Tokoloshe (Tokoloshe)
Cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
Tokoloshe (Tokoloshe)
O-oh, cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
[Both]
Tokoloshe
Don't you bite at my ankles, don't scratch at my thoughts, don't you itch at my skin
Don't make me uneasy, it's hard to stay focused, the conflict within
'Cause my palms getting sweaty, it's like I ain't ready, I feel outta place
So I'm raisin' my bet, my pulse racin' instead, and my thoughts start to race
Race
Race
Race, race, race
[Chorus: Estère]
Tokoloshe (Tokoloshe)
Cornering me
Scream, scream, scratch at my dream until I'm tired of running
Tokoloshe, (Tokoloshe)
