Lyrics You Told Me - Malaki, Gemma Bradley

You Told Me

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Guess we’re all just people
See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
Guess we’re all just
Isolated
We find comfort in our isolation
Refuse attention
Just so we can tell the man we made it
Or man we faded
Traded soul slated in our skin
Fake tan created as of lately I’ve been feeling thin
Too emotional for these relationships
My relation dips
Correlates to that late night fish and chips
With a cola
While the youngsters pushing coca
Hungry for acceptance
Man I wish I told you
Time is of the essence
Question’s how you spent it
Went from nick nocks and train hops
To slip knots and gin shots
Now we’re riding 'til our rims stop
Smoking, hiding in the drop-top and what-not
Essence as an adolescent
Jumping fences in crop tops
Pop into shop
I need a gum drop
Lessons never learned till the sun drop
Swear the fun don’t stop
Wait stop
Sorry man I thought that was the cops
See it’s hard to stay inside her
When your aspirations are higher than your mental state
I was in a mental place
Heart fermented from an ex’s taste
Like a lizard forked tongue in another one
While she was caught with other ones
And thank god she caught me
‘Cause now I got something to write something to read
You told me
That time comes and it goes
And I’m another one left out in the rain
You told me
That life has more to bring
Yet I’m another one left to dry in the wind
Wind shakes the leaves as the seasons change the colour
Mouth never speaks about the changes of a brother
Destined to discover a resting place
Aspirations, bitter taste as a mother plans your fate
Schools to degrees
Fools on the street
The ghouls that we meet
I just wanna sleep
Find me where the brothers be
The only place I feel relaxed enough to breathe
Coughing and wheezing on the greed beneath
Smile from streets
From false teeth
False sense of security
Double tapping on screens
I just wanna be myself but this world makes it mean
At thirteen
Wishing I was sixteen
At eighteen
Wishing I was nineteen
At twenty
I don’t know how life seems
We race to the next till we fall from daydreams
Depict scenes of big dreams
Trouble maker in tight jeans
They say cut from cloth but it’s tight seams
They told me I could be someone but the nights freeze
Nineteen gave his mind to Sertraline
Seems our lives can change
As the rhyme reads
The dry breeze flows by the crime scenes of diaries in mid-teens
Miss the mother’s tarts and whip cream
Now a love is tarnished, define these
I find this life to full of beauty
But truly
Don’t stop and watch 'cause these scenes always pass like a movie
Like a movie
You told me
That time comes and it goes
And I’m another one left out in the rain
You told me
That life has more to bring
Yet I’m another one left to dry in the wind
You’re breathing
Can see it
Keep breathing
Believe it
You’re breathing
Can hear it
You’re meaning
You feel it
You told me
That time comes and it goes
And I’m another one left out in the rain
You told me
That life has more to bring
Yet I’m another one left to dry in the wind
See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
See no evil
Hear no evil
We’re all just people
