Kae Tempest - Priority Boredom lyrics
[Kae Tempest - Priority Boredom lyrics]
Yawn brigade and self esteem
Say it like you really mean to mean it
Build your life around a secret
Build your secrets into waiting games
Any day they'll string you up
They'll hose you down
They'll nose around in all your things
You swim, you swim, you hope to drown
Devastate and implicate
Vindicated by your tribe
You come alive online, you die a couple times
It's fine
Plug in the other drive
Sign above the knotted line
I'm fine, you're fine, we arе, we're fine
Wе'll catch up some other time
Sign ascending signals five contenders
Will divide the kingdom
Nights resemble afternoons at home
With all your worst positions thrown
Into the harshest light
To be known and loved and
To be known and loved
To be known and loved
It's so disgusting man, I've had enough
Kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Priority boredom
And all that you thought was important
Is gorging it'self in the corner
Four courses of forced absorption
In the same old discourse
Of the dominant order
All that you want is to rise from the flotsam
And shine and be wanted
Say something witty that makes us important
Allot me my portion; a pound of wet flesh
Ground down by distortion
How can I sustain the pace?
Keep trucking
I can see the self I can't bear to face
Born lucky
More courage, more disdain
Anything at all for a name
Fame
Self for sale
Brand new self
With an origin myth and skin in the game
All I want to be's the knot
That goes against the grain
Like every other self who wants the same
Now kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Say it like you really mean to mean it
Build your life around a secret
Build your secrets into waiting games
Any day they'll string you up
They'll hose you down
They'll nose around in all your things
You swim, you swim, you hope to drown
Devastate and implicate
Vindicated by your tribe
You come alive online, you die a couple times
It's fine
Plug in the other drive
Sign above the knotted line
I'm fine, you're fine, we arе, we're fine
Wе'll catch up some other time
Sign ascending signals five contenders
Will divide the kingdom
Nights resemble afternoons at home
With all your worst positions thrown
Into the harshest light
To be known and loved and
To be known and loved
To be known and loved
It's so disgusting man, I've had enough
Kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Kiss off the day with a mute mouth
Pass the commute
I can die faster than you
Build up resilience, build up views
But you can't build for long
On a partial truth
Priority boredom
And all that you thought was important
