Jordan Rakei - Carnation lyrics

[Verse 1] My memory told me a secret A breath of its last cigarette The smokey haze, the scene was set To question my own two best? My conditioning was fighting now No “buts” were asked, so when and how This settled dust vibrated out The necessary walk about My hat bears shade upon my face The moon creep in my distant gaze My soul begins an endless chase To trap the memory in the maze I held it tight up by the neck And rose my arms, extend the legs The wind whispered one final chant Dead it lies at peace, at rest [Chorus] Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin [Verse 2] On board this ship to manic state The pill was stored within the freight She aimed to score but fairly lay? She missed the shots that she’s to take I saw she wanted temporary Guarded? it is complementary Disuse? all my commentary Trap by her own memory [Chorus] Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin [Chorus] Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin Capsules will sink before they swim, inform your next of kin [Outro] It’s taking a hold of me Hold with my hands tied It’s taking a hold of me Hold with my hands tied
