Lyrics Jordan Rakei – Carnation
Text:
My memory told me a secret
A breath of its last cigarette
The smokey haze, the scene was set
To question my own two best?
My conditioning was fighting now
No «buts» were asked, so when and how
This settled dust vibrated out
The necessary walk about
My hat bears shade upon my face
The moon creep in my distant gaze
My soul begins an endless chase
To trap the memory in the maze
I held it tight up by the neck
And rose my arms, extend the legs
The wind whispered one final chant
Dead it lies at peace, at rest
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
On board this ship to manic state
The pill was stored within the freight
She aimed to score but fairly lay?
She missed the shots that she’s to take
I saw she wanted temporary
Guarded? it is complementary
Disuse? all my commentary
Trap by her own memory
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin
It’s taking a hold of me
Hold with my hands tied
It’s taking a hold of me
Hold with my hands tied
