Phosphorus Lyrics by Intellectual Dark Wave

Phosphorus

2024

[Intro]
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

[Verse 1]
Your kids ain't excited like they used to be
About the beachfront property
You wonder why it doesn't fill them up with pride

To have this kind of prosperity
On the Mediterranean Sea
Where the land is so clean and sanctified

[Pre-Chorus]
Sand littered with empty shells
Makes you feel like William Tell
You make some toum and you light the grill
And it reminds you of that smell

[Verse 2]
The kids always want to stay inside
But they say you're the one who hides
Out on the beach where there's no one else around

You make believe that the morning tide
Can wash away the stain of genocide
But your kids see it and it makes them want to drown

[Pre-Chorus]
Sand littered with empty shells
Makes you feel like William Tell
You make some toum and you light the grill
And it reminds you of that smell

[Chorus]
Lying on the beach puts you right at peace
With all the ghosts you buried underneath
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

[Verse 3]
Soon your daughter's gonna turn 18
You tried to get her in the Shin Shinim
She wouldn't be caught dead going to Beirut

She said she's sick of living in between
The Dead Sea and a dying dream
So she's getting on a plane when the olive trees bear fruit

[Pre-Chorus]
Sand littered with empty shells
Makes you feel like William Tell
You make some toum and you light the grill
And it reminds you of that smell

[Chorus]
Lying on the beach puts you right at peace
With all the ghosts you buried underneath
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

What your kids believe makes you grit your teeth
But the weather's too good to sit around and seethe
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

[Pre-Chorus]
Sand littered with empty shells
Makes you feel like William Tell
You make some toum and you light the grill
And it reminds you of that smell

[Chorus]
Lying on the beach puts you right at peace
With all the ghosts you buried underneath
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

What your kids believe makes you grit your teeth
But the weather's too good to sit around and seethe
You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)

You love the smell of phosphorus in the morning
(Mourning)
