[Intro] (Atmospheric reverse reverb, shimmering synth pads) La la la... ohh la... ha... La la la... It's a strange day... But not going to pray Not this wet, damp and boring Morning (Breathy) La la laa... ohh la-li... hmm... La la la...ah [Verse 1] (Driving breakbeat kicks in, layered with a mournful cello, mournful yet ethereal vocals) The charts were laid out on the table, A code I wasn't meant to see. (Breathy) I know, and I always did (Whispered) and always will (I. always. will) La la laa... ohh la-li... hmm Your type, his type, her type —it wasn’t able A sun sabled, but known, long ago (Breathy) It's in the rain drops as it drips down my torso (Whispered) It's When I choose to cry To find a single trace of me. No silver thread, no scarlet bond, Just a house I was placed within. Like i was a curse. Such a devilish sin La la laa... ohh la-li... hmm... La la la...ah (Whispered) Such a devilish sin (Breathy) hmm...La la la...ah...laaa... la la ah...hmm (Whispered) Looking after me, a quiet task, A duty where the love wore thin. I look at you and I look at me. What's this colour skin? (Shouted)Mom, you racist? (Breathy) Dad, are you an islamophobe? hmm...La la la...ah...laaa... la la ah...hmm [Chorus] (Euphoric but melancholic synth leads, layered choral vocals, autotunespace ambient vicals) Oh, it’s a cold truth tonight, It’s a long road tomorrow. Halcyon... that world out there La la la... ohh la... ha... They care Way out there (Breathy) Somewhere (Whispered) they care...La la laa... ohh la-li... hmm... (Whispered) La la la...ah Halcyon... hmm... La la la...ah...laaa... la la ah...hmm I don't walk your road I walk in wide open. space And I walk it. alone Forever.... In Space [Bridge] (Rhythm strips back to a pulsing bass and ethereal vocals) I wasn't born, I was only put here, I have no mother, "Yuck. Look at his curly hair!" Like a ghost in a sterile frame. A job to do, a life to clear, A stranger with a borrowed name. La la la... la... (Breathy) i have no fear to hold, here [Verse 2] (Full beat returns with high-energy percussion) I don't need to know the why or how, (Breathy) The origin is lost in the grey. The silence is the only mother now, In this halcyon, fading day. This was heaven (Whispered) I call it the darkest hell hmm...La la la...ah...laaa... la la ah...oh...hmm [Outro] (Echoing vocal samples, music slowly dissolves into ambient static) La la la... ohh la... ha...um...hmm Halcyon... Just a job... Mom, how much do they pay you? (Shouted) Hah... fuck off (Fade out)
