Solemn

[Verse 1: Veela]
Pick up, "Hey, are you awake?"
My mortem, not hard to fake
White knuckles, it's not give and take, it's all luck
It's all harder than anticipated
Future heart, race, palpitate
Can I make art that alleviates my thoughts?
My thoughts

[Chorus: Veela]
I'm stayin' solemn
So fix your life instead, you're all in
I'll be out here wasting, solemn
If I cared, I forget it all
I choose smoke and mirrors (Ugh)
Like, what am I missing? (Ugh)
Tell me I look sick, I'm just solemn
And it's none of your business
'Cause I choose smoke and mirrors

[Verse 2: Veela]
So long
I consumed all my uses
I exist as a nuisance
Why run, when I can walk? (Can walk)
Keep on losing, I been choosing all the
Low, easiest things to be doing
I fell away, gave into ruin
Back away and don't call her human

[Verse 3: My City Glory, My City Glory & Veela]
I needed time alone, let a fire grow
But it’s a prison
Cut to smoke and watch it choke
Out my ambition
See it turn to ash and burn
Got tunnel vision
Closing in and
I'm invokin', going kamikaze
Blowing up my life 'cause I’m impatient
Try to stop me, but I feel alive when I’m in stasis, ugh
It’s my innate gift, borderline evasive
Rather sit and watch the world burn in amazement, ugh

[Verse 4: Veela]
And so far
I've participated, held a grudge
And I've cultivated it, no love
I let devastate my heart
My heart

[Chorus: My City Glory & Veela]
'Cause I'm solemn
So fix your life instead, you're all in
I'll be out here wasting, solemn
If I cared, I forget it all
I choose smoke and mirrors (Ugh)
Like, what am I missing? (Ugh)
Tell me I look sick, I'm just solemn
And it's none of your business
'Cause I choose smoke and mirrors

[Outro: My City Glory & Veela, Veela]
Sure, take me out
It never goes right
Let me drown in the chemical, and I
Am washed in the M.A.O
Let me drown in the chemical
