Little Simz - Deranged lyrics

Don't answer to the empty questions
Asked in the mirror
Just admire the slight reflection
That resembles yourself
If you can hear these deranged thoughts
You'd think I need help
But don't just stand there, get me some then

In a land where my mind
Travelling through different times
Ancient clocks on the wall
Can tell if the left hand was right
Illusive dreams through the night
Nightmares and a bright day
The concepts of this is backwards
Is this the way it should be?
Well I'm just following motion
No need to prevent the emotion
Of being close to the psychedelic corruptive
Explosions and now these wounds became frozen
I'm numb to the pain
The chemical effect is potent drink up
I'm confused by confusion
And I find it all so confusing
To match the dove with the sky
Or like the winner with losing
I think I'm losing my mind
And it don't help that I'm
3000 years into life fuck it
I'm an old woman strolling down the streets
So what's new reflecting on how I grew
Into this bitter pursuit
But now I'm left with myself
I might as well take in the view
Shit weren't like this back in my day

Don't answer to the empty questions
Asked in the mirror
Just admire the slight reflection
That resembles yourself
If you can hear these deranged thoughts
You'd think I need help
But don't you stand there, get me some then
Don't answer to the empty questions
Asked in the mirror
Just admire the slight reflection
That resembles yourself
If you can hear these deranged thoughts
You'd think I need help

I'm a troubled woman with a troubled past
And a troubled mind, I'm a friend to trouble
And you can hear in these troubled lines
The young will never know
That they're living a troubled life
And no one will tell 'em
That defines an illusion
Some say I'm delusional
And I say the vanity is fluent
Like a blood transfusion
Left in a constitution
No back bone, no mobilisation, spinal fusion
My wisdom is too much for you to consume
I know but you shall listen to these stories
That you will be told
And if you bite the hand that feeds you
You will starve to your bones
A thinner than the veins
That are piercing out of my soul
This is let me not start
Mummy told me to count my blessings
When I was younger
I would rather watch a storm and the thunder
The lightning striking
Watch it take the world under
The world I used to wonder
The seven wonders and now I
Found it the eighth
I discovered if only I listen
And I wasn't so stubborn then maybe
Who the fuck am I kidding?

Don't answer to the empty questions
Asked in the mirror
Just admire the slight reflection
That resembles yourself
If you can hear these deranged thoughts
You'd think I need help
