Subtle Creature Lyrics by SHIRA

Subtle Creature

2016

[Verse 1]
There’s a peach on the tree
Won’t you shake one down for me
There’s a lie I want to believe
Won’t you make it true for me
And everybody says that he’s gone again
Is he around
I don’t believe a word they say
Everybody says it’s gonna get easier
I don’t believe a word they say

[Chorus]
In the walls there’s a subtle creature
In my sleeve there’s a subtle creature, love
In my hands there’s a subtle creature
In my hands
Ooh, it’s in my hands

[Verse 2]
You judgy little feline
You could never be mine
Guess you’re not good enough
You are not
And you hang on to it [?]
Hold on tight
You were not
What should I say
That you can never be mine
Guess you’re not good enough
You are not
And you hold on to it
Just like that
When you [?]
You were not
If there’s a low she’s not coming up
If there’s a high she’s not coming down
If there’s a ladder I’ll climb
Till I reach
Till I reach
Till I reach
If there’s a ladder I’ll climb
If there’s a river I’ll take sail
If there’s a box I’ll open it
Till I reach
Till I reach
And everybody says that it’s gonna get easier
I don’t believe a word they say
And everybody says it’s gonna get easier
I don’t believe a word they say, come on

[Chorus]
In the walls there’s a subtle creature
In my sleeve there’s a subtle creature, love
In my hands there’s a subtle creature
In my hands
Ooh, it’s in my hands

[Verse 3]
You judgy little feline
You could never be mine
Guess you’re not good enough
You are not
And you hang on to it [?]
Hold on tight
You were not
What should I say
That you can never be mine
Guess you’re not good enough
You are not
And you hold on to it
Just like that
When you [?]
You were not
Lights show me
Swift and blind
Red fur show me
Swift and blind
Swift and blind
Sex and heat and blue skies
A tiger’s eyes
A tiger’s eyes
So [?] and [?]
Swift and blind
Swift and blind

[Verse 4]
When I’m looking I don’t know what I am
When I see it I don’t know how
You could ask me if I know why they do it
But to tell you the truth I don’t know how
When I’m looking I don’t know what I am
When I see it I don’t know how
You could ask me if I know why they do it
But to tell you the truth I don’t know how
There’s a peach on the tree
And I know it’s for me
Happy who I wanna be
Feel a little complete
I never say never say a word
I keep swimming with a [?]
That’s not the dream I was dreamin till dark
I ain’t never quit like I’m a [?] come one
Never say a lie
I keep tripping round my own dark light
I trip trip when my laces is tied
I trip trip when my laces is tied
And clear is the color of my true love’s hair
I see my love everywhere
No need for looking glass
I’m looking past
I see my love everywhere
There’s a peach on the tree
And it’s me and I’m falling fast
I can see my love everywhere
I’m a [?] fuckin in the air
And I’m everywhere

[Verse 5]
When I’m looking I don’t know what I am
When I see it I don’t know how
You could ask me if I know why they do it
But to tell you the truth I don’t know how
When I’m looking I don’t know what I am
When I see it I don’t know how
You could ask me if I know why they do it
But to tell you the truth I don’t know how

[Outro]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
