The Dead Past Lyrics by Lazy Habits

Vermillion Sands

2022

So you best believe in "right now"
[Verse 1]
You stole a soul and that's hard to switch
Close to the bone cuts are counterfeit
Stitched up, so pour me a sip
With fork, ice, skid
Leave a car in the ditch
(Best believe in)
Or at least stop to read print
No sale, no return
If there's gods, then there's demons and
Fire-breathing, seething beasts
With evil eyes and poison teeth
We've been betrayed by the troops you abandoned
We might make it through, but we brace for the landing
Karma's a brand and their outfits outstanding
Carved out of pride and expanding
I'm still surprised why these sirens ain't sounding
We're still alive and this building's still standing
Heading for lights you keep moving
Refusing to speak
Now they pulled out the world from beneath
[Chorus]
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
[Verse 2]
It spreads at a speed with a need-like infection
Dial-up when eyes up an instant connection
My quarantine is for my own protection
When all that I want is affection, warmth without question
Chunks of my change for regression
Left for a minute extension
Just out of reach as you're pulled from the brink for selection
Rolled out and left dead for collection
It's missing the windows and wait for the next one
Too close to call so why shout from the next room
So far apart, like from Venus to Neptune
Did you plead and how far did it get you?
Around and around go the stories you could have made
Waded in deep in a game that you couldn't play
Now that it's time to pay up it's a different place
Excuses are hopes of delay
[Chorus]
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
[Verse 3]
You passed too many exits
You've come too far to exist
Arms outstretched
The armour's just a vest
Best aim wins too quick
To draw pics, stamp on bones that curse don't lift
Elevator music only down to the pits
Honestly, it makes me sick
I escaped, got pulled back quick
Because I didn't need it
Needs are in doubt
I couldn't seal it
Something got out
It was something to reach for, to shout
When this ride just won't stop, even out
So lean with amounts
All these stories and none of them count
As I lost count of weight by the ounce
Too slow for the pounce
All off the books, no accounts
One we win throwing stones at the house
[Chorus]
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in "right now"
'Cos there's no other way you'll find your way out
So you best believe in...
