lyrics

Lifelike Future You

A particle splash, molecular ray,
A parallel verse, not far away at all
A super loud flash, illogical state,
Emotional weight, provocative frame or fault
Performer industry crawl,
Unhealthy animal, heavy fall, passed its date
Imbalanced argument sprawl,
Double-up, double-draw, double-shake

A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate taste
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate fate
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed-out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, throbbing change

Deliberate crash, angled to pass,
Eager to sway, an elegant force in the way
Typical flare, typical black,
Leather red mask, all out to dance city

A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate fate
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate taste
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed-out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, driving change

Limelight so diffuse
Wired, no more untrue
Time, steady on cue
Lifelike future you
Lifelike future you

A separate crime, a separate vine, a separate fate
A delicate time, a delicate wine, a delicate taste
Illegible lines, super tight signs, treble-like rain
Hollowed-out, just a shell of a soul,
In a constant, driving change
