Promises

Look, baby, I can't promise you nothin' I mean, the future could be all we need or plugs in a dustbin I see the clouds all brewing, guess we're due for a floodin' The cold blue light blinds, but my ark is your lovin' A.I. in the sky hummin' The world's burning, but fuck it Asleep stomach to stomach is all I need, to be honest Not 'cause I'm evil or ostrich, but 'cah my people turned prophets Already walking on water while the sea level's frothing Yeah, it's heavy, tread steady, but this ain't any old romance Babe, you were just my best lay and I never planned to hold hands 'til the whole of human history aligned so we could slow dance And those that came before us suffered more so is it so bad? They carried us as hope inside their ovaries and gonads So sunburned or drowned or deleted It's the end of we, but maybe we're the bitter seeds that grow into a lemon tree Yeah, the past and the future lives inside the present's energy So show a little tenderness now and love flows endlessly Time is on a loop like the sun, that's its destiny So the truth is how you lie here next to me is how we'll forever be
