ΔSH - BN11 - Not There Yet

+ Show full styles

[VERSE 1]
I wore my best fear
like it matched my shoes
checked the sky twice
like it owed me news I dressed for the fall
in a beautiful coat
nothing even happened
but I cleared my throat [PRE-CHORUS]
I checked the clock
it had no hands
still I was late
for imaginary plans I said: calm down
then ran again
to meet a future
that forgot to begin [CHORUS]
Tomorrow’s not here
but I’m dressed like it called Tomorrow’s not here
but I’m out in the hall Not there yet
not there yet dancing all night
with a future
that hasn’t even called [POST-CHORUS]
Not there yet
not there yet I left too early
for somewhere else Not there yet
not there yet the room was empty
so I filled it myself [VERSE 2]
I had front row seats
to my worst-case show
clapped for the drama
before it said hello The elevator blinked
but there was no floor
I kept pressing tomorrow
like an open door [PRE-CHORUS 2]
I checked my face
in the emergency light
so overdressed
for the end of the night I said: stay here
then disappeared
three steps ahead
of nothing to fear [CHORUS]
Tomorrow’s not here
but I’m dressed like it called Tomorrow’s not here
but I’m out in the hall Not there yet
not there yet dancing all night
with a future
that hasn’t even called [BRIDGE]
Then the beat dropped low
and the white room stayed no thunder came
no debt to pay no sign in the ceiling
no voice from above just me and my shoes
and a floor I could trust [BREAKDOWN]
Not there yet
not there yet early to a ghost Not there yet
not there yet my name still on my coat [FINAL CHORUS]
Tomorrow’s not here
so I’m coming back turning my feet
from the future track Tomorrow’s not here
and the night goes on the floor is still warm
where I stepped out Tomorrow’s not here
so I let it stay blank the guest list was empty
my name in red ink Tomorrow’s not here
but the beat is strong my shadow came back
with the lights left on [OUTRO]
The clock kept ticking.
Still no hands. The future stayed empty. And for once
I didn’t decorate it
with fear.
