We live in cities you'll never see on screen
Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run things
Living in ruins of a palace within my dreams
And you know, we're on each other's team
This art. Don't @ me if you stan for washed up hags that are notorious for urinating on stage
It’s a switch flipped
It’s a pill tipped back
It’s a moon eclipsed
And I can tell you that, when the lights come on I’ll be ready for this
It’s in your bloodstream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It’s a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size
I was fighting off every little thing that I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I look not to hold
The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out
I want the applause the approval the things that make me go oh
I actually liked Lorde's ARTPOP'd message about her new album. I like when artists think about their albums as concepts and not just a bunch of random songs by other people (unless the album is full of bops, then I don't care).
