Lewis Cox - Neon Black lyrics

[Phase 1] Today I feel melancholy Tomorrow I'll feel melancholy Because melancholy is the alternative way to feel when everything is so fake and jolly You ask me where's wally but I'm sorry I can't find him Sitting by the ocean just to see the tide in Then when it's in just sit back and watch the horizon Then after Sundown I'm driving slowly Sitting in the front of the car just riding lonely Because only things that don't exist feel surprising Only the pure reality of everything is what I am finding phoney Cause nothing throws me, because I am not a human I am just a poet Of course I know it, because the words know me Watch me space out over other people's property And take in my surroundings properly Until they move me along or treat me hostly My mouth is always closed well but my existence is closed cell like styrofoam Give me the keys mother, I'm home Told my family I don't really mind being alone They said that they'd rather be outside having fun At least dad agreed with me, like father like son Get a girl settle down, look around Next thing you know you are married Wonder if I could get Cat Stevens to play me out Soft skin up the stairs of the girls I carried Not right now Buy the girl of your dreams a cheap wedding ring from a shop down town Hope she wears it proud, because my pockets don't talk fancy Even though that's the way they are meant to be That's the way things are when you've been around a fifth of a century [Phase 2] Just amazed I've not slipped up by the system and ended up in Penitentiary I'm in an American Prison engaged in a Boxing Match Shut the door please, pull the latch like that Neon Black Neon Black My colours start to fade And then they come right back Neon Black Neon Black My colours start to fade And then they come right back Neon Black Neon Black [Phase 3] Coming at you with supersonic speed I'm out to collect rings But I ain't the blue blur I'm just a bit disturbed But try find confusion that is finer I've explored the depths of Japan and China And gained knowledge only worth a fiver That's a profit to a loss I'm sitting at my desk like I'm a boss I'm not angry I'm just cross No words just a grunt like Rick Ross My soul remains silent but my words speak violent Count them one by one but they still remain timeless Like the Grandfather clock Tick Tock I ain't ticked off I'm just a Neon Black artifact My colours start to fade and they come right back And that's a fact And that's a fact My colours start to fade and they come right back And that's a fact And that's a fact Neon Black
