Riptide by Joaqun Villegas Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who do you know here, it's 5 dollars
Alcohol drinks and Holy Water
Taking til you’re feeling high like the gallows
Don’t dive in the pools when they’re this shallow
What pushes you out can pull you in
Like bungee cording into a pool of gin and chronic
That’s here to stay
Listening to music while you silently sway, and the
John and the Janes are going insane, and you
Join the jubilee like you have no left brain, but the
Jollies get jaded manifest inane, cause the
Jackals and the juicers don’t know your name
Campaign to fame the road is rugged, only
Mains in your brain, the rest just puppets, the
Disdain in this lane, I am disgusted
Its inane to sustain, spring a leak get flooded
[Chorus x 2]
I am to the brim
It's looking grim
I can't swim
[Verse 2]
Only 15 minutes, inhale exhale
Fountain of youth and Holy Grails
Ends are not justified by the ends or
By beginnings, that’ll give you bends
I learned that lesson while submerged in
Morals and saltwater, my body urged for
A piece of mind and a breath of fresh
Got one of those, that's why I’m here in the flesh
Always cautious of apophenia, but
As I smelled that giant puddle Aquafina
I sensed this flood was beginning and ending
Suffocating me as well as hydrating
Was this a message with me inside the bottle
Filled with having to overcome just to see tomorrow
Or was it just another body panicked by death
Not knowing how to swim pushing me to the depth
[Chorus x 2]
[Verse 3]
Drifted away or float adrift
Unfortunate events and Holy Writ
Words can be forced upon, can be shamed
But the worst case is when your tongue’s abstained
Wrecked the deck when they craned their necks
A couple paintbrushes to lose the trek
Become geriatric and lose the devoted
The ambition is just as the raven quoted
When life’s squared with no root that you can see
You range the planet and look for a mean
But how much will you go while it won’t summate
Can’t sleight another hand or wipe the slate
After the first before the last amen
Before the last daily dosage of REM
As you traverse the valley of mayhem
Never forget the words of mice and men
Who do you know here, it's 5 dollars
Alcohol drinks and Holy Water
Taking til you’re feeling high like the gallows
Don’t dive in the pools when they’re this shallow
What pushes you out can pull you in
Like bungee cording into a pool of gin and chronic
That’s here to stay
Listening to music while you silently sway, and the
John and the Janes are going insane, and you
Join the jubilee like you have no left brain, but the
Jollies get jaded manifest inane, cause the
Jackals and the juicers don’t know your name
Campaign to fame the road is rugged, only
Mains in your brain, the rest just puppets, the
Disdain in this lane, I am disgusted
Its inane to sustain, spring a leak get flooded
[Chorus x 2]
I am to the brim
It's looking grim
I can't swim
[Verse 2]
Only 15 minutes, inhale exhale
Fountain of youth and Holy Grails
Ends are not justified by the ends or
By beginnings, that’ll give you bends
I learned that lesson while submerged in
