Riot Gear Lyrics by Lazy Habits

Vermillion Sands

2022

You used to do the dance
When life was all kites
You used to stand up
Now you're just so uptight
You need to settle back
Safe to watch it all collapse
What I mean to say is to watch your distance from the facts
You know, mind the gap
Crack!
No one can control the force
Of the swinging bat
You're at a crossroads
At a standstill, getting lapped
If you came to win?
You best attack!
And I'm just
Falling apart
Still gigs like a walk in the park
Loaded the cart with souls
Old bones
Body parts
And I'm off on a stroll overcast
Skies looking ominous
Feels like it's almost on top of us
My defence is in ink like an octopus
I've been writing me off but it's on again
On again
On, like a light switch
I might change and blow
It's on like a fight where I might take a dive
It's wrong to be tied down, and I saw the first glitch
Might change my mind, but I might be in orbit
Wrestle with thoughts that I shouldn't have
If we're in it all, we should let it go
Acting like people we should be, so
This is the part where I take it home
And I'm just
Trying to rebuild it up
Waiting until the pulse has passed
Acting like I give a... shh!
And I'm just
Intent on holding reins whilst raining down on clowns who try to reign
Spoiling their charades
And I'm just
Actually proud so if I catch an axe or drown at least there's something hanging down
And I'm just
Trying to set it up while settling down
The metaphors are kettled and drowned
The great escape
I'm out
And I'm just
Trying to set it up while settling down
The metaphors are kettled and drowned
The great escape
I'm out
