Destructors Lyrics by Jay Summer

Shade

2021

[Verse 1]
An itch to run free
Off on a breeze
On past the weeds and the chain link
Ain't nothing to stop him now
Except a needle
Scratching away

[Verse 2]
The impulse to breathe
Violent and deep
Came between stop and go traffic
Ain't nothing to choke her now
Except a menthol
Sipping away

[Chorus 1]
Overdone and overdue
Puts your head on a pillow
It feels close enough to follow-through
It's ice on a fever
The best you can do
The best you can do
Best you can do

[Verse 3]
An urge to denounce
Scream and walk out
Join in the crowds and the riots
Ain't nothing to keep me now
Except a paycheck
Keeping me safe

[Chorus 2]
Over time, it gets to you
Puts your head on a swivel
Is it close enough to follow-through?
Is ice on a fever
The best you can do?
The best you can do?
That the best you can do?
Is that the best you can do?
That the best you can do?
That the best you can do?
Is that the best you can do?

[Refrain]
Or do you secretly
Do you secretly
Want to watch it fall?
Could you sleep heavy
As you breathe heavy
Air through ash-filled lungs?

Or do you secretly
Do you secretly
Want to watch it fall?
Could you sleep heavy
As you breathe heavy
Air through ash-filled lungs?


[Outro]
Human nature
Human nature
Human nature
Hole in a brick wall
