X (Mwah) - Hellions

It all set in so slow

There’s no light

I fear the twilight of my prime

Because right now it feels so much

Like it’s gonna be the end of my little life

I wanna drain the marrow 'fore I make old bones

It’s been really nice to know you but for now I gotta go

I’m not long for this world

It’s nice to know, mwah

So are we water without salubrity?

We’re not so bright for breathing cosmic debris

No, we can’t see

I want vertiginous height and speed

That just might kill me

I am not a spirit of a vision like those young lovelies

And I’m never gonna feign an admission

'Cause that doesn’t interest me

I know there’s much more left than this slow death

That we all suffer at their behest

But I just can’t see

What’s happening to me

Because I’m never gonna see what I’m missing with eyes on my feet

And I’m never call this a living

When it’s all so rote and unhappy

How can I say I made a change

When I’m getting further every day?

I’m not one for this world

(From consistency, from some stability)

It’s nice to know, mwah

So are we water without solubility?

We’re not so bright for breathing cosmic debris

No, we can’t see

I want vertiginous height and speed

That just might kill me

One day you’re here and the next day you’re gone

The only purpose I feel remains in song

If Freddie wrote his Rhapsody at 29

Maybe I still have time for mine

I know a poet will find no use for peace

I know this is the only way it should be

I’ll be dead before I know I’m dying

But it doesn’t feel unnatural to me

So I howl at the sun

It’s taken years but I feel that I’m done

Taking posies out my pockets

We can all fall down, we can stop it

There’s no place for me, my ten dollar words

And all the little vanities this world incurs

It’s sixes and sevens

Can we create a heaven?

So are we water without solubility?

We’re not so bright for breathing cosmic debris

No, we can’t see

I want vertiginous height and speed

(That just might kill me)

So are we water without solubility?

We’re not so bright for breathing cosmic debris

No, we can’t see

I want vertiginous height and speed

That just might kill me

I am not a spirit of a vision like those young lovelies

And I’m never gonna feign an admission

'Cause that doesn’t interest me

I know there’s much more left than this slow death

That we all suffer at their behest

But I just can’t see

What’s happening to me
