Icarus Instinct Lyrics by Mr Key & Greenwood Sharps

Yesterday’s Futures

2015

[Verse 1: Mr Key]
I wanna feel good, if I can't feel good
I wanna feel nothing, feed me oblivion
Eat me a million and one plus one plus one
Makes a million and dumb fuck features obsidian
Stone-eyed Gilligan, bone wide domino
Clip-clap, stick myself up just to sit back
Tinkerbell snuffed it to pitch black, it's nothing but
Big chat but fuck it I did that
Chameleon I feed on magnesium strips
White light fade away to amnesia bliss
There's no need to resist, there's no green where the kids play
Snow White sleeps in a grim grey
And that's a beautiful still life
I don't lose it, I kill time, face fucked Dali,
With flick knives the butterfly effect
What's that running down my neck? A bittersweet mixture of love and disrespect
Puddled up underneath the bed
Must have been something that I said
Well if it's nothing to remember then it's nothing to forget
I guess, fuck it, it's nothing, forget it
Just another nondescript manuscript
I stabbed a chick with 50 acid dipped candle sticks
Snitch still waiting for the wax to drip, drip
But her face is still immaculate, why? Don't answer that, shh
Don't answer back, time lapse heart attack
Wide black eyes suck the life out of artefacts
Back from the symbolised, same place different time
Same day different life, same dame different guy
Live in a memorial graveyard
Picking at wishbones, skimmed stones sink
And broken windows don't blink
Speedy eyed gonzo to feast for the flies that fly poncho
I do not claim what I do not know, you
Do not play gung-ho with Colombo
Think about it, I can see through you see
I can see through you see, see who you truly be (X2)
[Verse 2: Mr Key]
Looked deep in the abyss and I said to myself
What a wonderful world, what a beautiful girl
What a marvellous way to escape the space age
With my faith stapled straight to my face
As naked as the day I was made
Right here, right now In my favourite place
I'm just
Following the endless meanders
Fjord to the source, backwards through the backwoods
The words that I write are my atlas
The earth in the skies I was trapped now I'm free from the madness
Emerge in the light full of thanks for my personal ties
And my friends and my fam cause
Well, if life ain't love son then what the fuck is it?
You make your own meanings and mine's divine spirits
In line the spine tingling infinity's fine but try switch to the design despite limited time
You're too close
To the king of the skies
Icarus instinct
Forget where the roots run deep and get ya wings clipped
Everything's fine you're hedonistic
Broken homegrown messy business
Magnify glass up the past like "what is this?"
No I don't know no faux clever dipshit
Peppa Pig mystic to primary colour mix to baby shit brown
Baby don't make me sit down
I'd rather stay standing and be counted if it's all the same to you
If it's all the same to you
Imma sing our song of sorrow
As I paint my piece of paper with a sepia stain and
Pretend I ain't the reason that your feelings have changed
Disappear into the distance 'till you need me again
Today
You'll find me hyper-saturated by the seaside
Spirals in the sky and oscillations in my dream time
Widen them horizons watch the changes from the beach like
Nothing ever stays the same but everything will be fine (X2)
