Banshee - Elliott Power, Miink, Aretha

Drown in dreams

Not quite sure what this all means

Surrounding me

She wants for more a lust for greed

The same old needs

Lost I pause then watch her weep

To weep to wail to wail to weep

Stop start then go again

Deep breath gulping swallowing

Harrowing sight inside tonight

Close my eyes refuse to open them (broken)

Lost my way and days spent moping hoping

The game I play rewards no tokens chosen

Few that knew now in pursuit

Astute are you acute you move

As you deceive through pours you seep

To weep to wail to wail to weep

Now I’m back to lack of sleep

Paralysis on cotton sheets

Eight hundred threads bring me no peace

These obscene scenes that I’ve seen

Places faces dreamt in dreams

Deemed mean unclean go unseen

Chases mazes dreamt in dreams

What does this all mean?

Chorus: (Aretha)

Failing to move

Hand in hand

I’m slow

Drown in dreams

Down below in depths so deep

Astounding scenes

To sink or swim then in-between

The depths beneath

A simple kiss that captured me

To weep to wail to wail to weep

Bon voyage

No oasis just mirage

Parched starved bruised and scarred

In desperate need no drip in flask

Survival now the only task

Before I take my last gasp

Dark path road to redemption

Outcast woes that we mention

Hard task so stark think fast

Don’t know the dimensions

Still yet to have the last laugh

Who’ll pay the toll of rejection

Chorus: (Aretha)

Failing to move

Hand in hand

(hold my hearts in place)

(hold my hearts in place)

I’m slow

Bridge: (Miink)

Fall in close to me

Calling ghosts to scenes

Not enough enough

To roll alone

Tell me what you want

What you want

Tell me what you want

Chorus: (Aretha)

Failing to move

Hand in hand

I’m slow

Hook:

Drown in dreams

Not quite sure what this all means

Surrounding me

She wants for more a lust for greed

The same old needs

Lost I pause then watch her weep

To weep to wail to wail to weep (stop)

Verse 3: Frostar

And they can see teeth like goofy

New cheese got my head waved like a coolie

I’m stressed out thinking 'bout my goonies

They’re trying to put them in-front of Judge Judy

Yeah it’s like that I supplied crack

To fiends that would walk eight miles for these White wraps

I’m trying to stay far from where the crimes at

But it’s hard 'cause I’m really trying to find stacks

Devil in my mind I’m really trying to fight back

Dripping melanin got them giving me them wide stairs

Getting to the top like a niggers got to climb stairs

But I’ll be getting money till I lie flat eyes back
