Settle Down (Heart of the Mountain" from "Celeste")

The flow is always chasing me,

Rising in my stomach inescapably,

Settle down [settle down], settle down [settle down]

It’s cool, it’s all just making it from a to b

The flow is always chasing me,

Rising in my stomach inescapably,

Settle down [settle down], settle down [settle down]

I’m on the run, I don’t want ice, I just want agency

Me, I never wanna be cocky

Seems like every time I talk about myself I’m just exposing all my flaws

But let’s be honest, I would rather be an ok version of me

Than be a paragon of hoaxes on a poster for applause

Facsimile, everybody monied seems to have a different

Plan of getting rid of me, everyone in power wants to

Tell me that my cousins and my sisters and my mothers are my

Enemy, poisoning communities like ketamine

Regulate it, write it on a scrap of paper

That’ll keep the people happy, that’ll change the path of nature

That is what the judge says, greedy-eyed and mongering fear

So how are we the ones that can’t stand to look in the mirror

I was tryna make a little life in written copy

Couldn’t hack it at the office, though, I think that shit’s beyond me

Commies don’t belong there sipping gossip at the Mr. Coffee

We could solve poverty with half the cash they give the army

These days, I get along with folks in Appalachia

Batting half and half on pronouns, but never known for capping

Old vocabulary dies hard, but grandma says respect goes

Both ways, so, if you do too, you’re still a family

Hey, it’s gonna be ok,

I hope somebody told you that today

I hope somebody’s holding you today

You got a lot of story left to say

The flow is always chasing me,

Rising in my stomach inescapably,

Settle down [settle down], settle down [settle down]

It’s cool, it’s all just making it from a to b

The flow is always chasing me,

Rising in my stomach inescapably,

Settle down [settle down], settle down [settle down]

I’m on the run, I don’t want ice, I just want agency
