lyrics

MY TRIBE

Hold it steady, holding hands, we stay together all day and all night.
Feel pathetic, feel protected, feel much better when we’re all here, all the time.

Paint by numbers to find the colour way, on the road to nowhere in no time.
Disconnected, tracking scent we keep our gut to the first floor floor.

Hear the rumble to keep my enemies far away from reaching my tribe.
Raising spirits, strength from animals, keep the sickness on the outside.

Centre of my universe is sectioned off.
Keep them occupied, lock them all inside.

My Tribe.

Isolated, in atari, turning inside out.
All traditions are transitioning from a bug into a pupi.
I’m connected to a palindrome, she blows colours into the sky.
Raining terracotta pots, we’re taking cover under his eye.

Centre of my universe is sectioned off.
Keep them occupied, lock them all inside.
