lyrics

I think I'll never go back home
Go back home
Go back home
To this greyscale haven made of flesh and bone
This obscene amount of racist overtones
Go back home
Go back home

Living in a fantasy
I can feel it coming even though it has nothing to do with me
I'm obsessing now, purple flowers piling on my feet
I can hear the screams, but I tell myself it's only in my sleep
It's an industry
It's an industry

I feel
Like it's Sunday in São Paulo
And I'm craving for
Clonazepam and chill
The spill
Up from the apartment towers
Falls as thick as snow
As candy for their wallet and my nose

I think I'll never go back home
Go back home
Go back home
To this oozing box from which I grow alone
This incoming beast whose mouth is full of foam
Go back home
Go back home

I feel
Like it's Saturday in Athens
And I'm craving for
Alprazolam and chill
The kills
And electronic calls for action
The quarter-century detachment
From every ounce of what once felt real
I wish it was Brazil
I wish it was right here
The sense of dread misplaced
No Instagram, no Fear
A mythical disease
Some relatives to please
Pay heed for the nose bleed
Spend summertimes in Crete

My silence, no longer cheap
My endless reverie
Hell, until someone invents a button for it
I'll think myself to sleep
