Suspended Animation GG x Aphex Twin by Grey Ghost Lyrics

Genre: rap | Year: 2014

[Intro: Grey Ghost]
Ay
Yo

[Verse 1: Grey Ghost]
My real name is Jeremy Koren
Thirty years old and I can’t ignore it
My life feels disordered
But I’m addicted to rap so I can’t stop tourin’
Sometimes I feel I wanna forfeit
Then I hear the music’s out there’s so borin’
Makes me wanna keep explorin’
Got an itch to move this shit forward
Every mornin’ I write and I draw
My advice for y’all is keep creatin’
Had to be creative and if you ain’t
Fuck it, go sailin’ where there’s no surveillance
If you got a job that you hate then think about bailin’
Suspended animation
That’s what it feels like, don’t it?
You feel frozen within this moment
In the mirror you see your opponent
Life ain’t a rental, yo, you gotta own it
So what I’m sayin’ is fuck it
What you are is more than enough
Life feels tough, but you’re thick skinned
That’s how you were built, don’t give in
Be patient, with life in suspended animation
[Chorus: Grey Ghost]
Ay
So who are you? Yo, what’s your deal?
Are you rollin’ in it or you got no wheels?
Are you strugglin’ to pay your bills?
Or have you never known just how that feels?
Either way, you on the same planet
Where there’s no hideaway, goddamnit
And it can feel like you’re faded
Life in suspended animation

[Verse 2: Joelistics]
Lookin’ for somethin’ to put faith in
Feet flat firm on the pavement
Life is a fruit, I feed for the taste
And I’m drunk from the fermentation
And I’m wasted, but never wasted
Never fell into line, I was adjacent
Sometimes it means these dreams I chase
Never really come with a payslip
But still, I made it
Me and hip hop are still related
We still get around, still hangin’ out now
But I ain’t tryna be her favourite
I don’t cater for the cavemen
Every rhyme of mine is an amen
And I’ll draw a picture with a water pistol
Call it suspended animation
And as long as the words in the song
Are a piece of the puzzle, I’ll back it
And as long as the puzzle don’t get me first
I believe I’ll crack it
Suspended animation
You’re tuned in to my station
And I’m all in ‘til I’m worn thin
Aphex Twin and I’m ancient
Windowlicker, goddamnit
Time is the enemy, damnit
A couple grey hairs and a few more cares
And I animate all my habits
Jacob’s Ladder when I climb inside for the night
Sit beside me, decipher the rhyme
I only ever wrote these words for the ones
Who were lookin’ for things they couldn’t find
[Outro: Joelistics]
And that’s fine, cool
Suspended animation, right?
Fine, cool
Suspended animation life
Fine, cool
Suspended animation, right?
Fine, cool
Suspended animation life
