lyrics

ANNABELLE MAGINNIS
erase my name, and burn it down
no recollection into the ground
erase my name, and burn it down
no recollection into the ground
show me something real
show me something I can hold on to
gotta catch a feel
gotta stretch this skin to something new
disconnection, no protection, not
gonna mention such unpleasant thoughts
all these questions, god I'm stressin', caught
wishin you were here to ask

I don't wanna build a castle
on hollow pillars glass and fragile
I don't wanna build a castle
on hollow pillars glass and fragile

TOLLIVER
you got a secret I could barely even see you
we tried to touch but it was just an apparition
an empty house full of doodoo and pissin'
foundation's peelin and clippin'
the neighbors come over
what they gon say
got a whole condo full of empty space
and I'm in space, gotta get free
jealous of my friends, man, all of us could eat
chomp chomp - we could chow down
no blanks, it's all live rounds
turn the cameras on but it's a blank screen
change perception just to see what's in between things

ANNABELLE
I don't wanna build a castle
on hollow pillars glass and fragile
I don't wanna build a castle
on hollow pillars glass and fragile

DEF SOUND
(Write to right my wrongs)
Riiiight I believe in belief
Truth is the language I speak
I’m w/ sheesh
I got the link w/ the deets

(Guilt I take that off)
Noooo That no longer fit me
Begin w/ the endings
I’m high in the day time to balance the dark times
Heights reaching daylight

(Found myself in loss)
Call me Motumbo I block her
Getting my checks up no doctor
My drip is so water
I am too stylish for dockers

(See myself in you)
Feel like a Mirror out here
Lead w/ the spirit here
feeling no fear out here
been here w/ the year yea

I feel the shift with in
I think I innerstand
I feel like me again
I feel like (whoa)

We could build a castle
rather build a green house
Inside of really a really green house
You can let the light in
I can’t see out
Plant based god
You can take the meat out

This song
Is personal
Versatile
Vulnerable
Quotable
Idk
All I know
