Promises Lyrics

[00:01.38] Look
[00:02.25] Baby, I can't promise you nothin'
[00:04.99] I mean, the future could be all we need or plugs in a dustbin
[00:08.82] I see the clouds all brewing, guess we're due for a floodin'
[00:12.25] The cold blue light blinds, but my ark is your lovin'
[00:16.29] A.I. in the sky, hummin'
[00:19.05] The world's burning, but fuck it
[00:20.63] Asleep, stomach-to-stomach is all I need, to be honest
[00:24.63] Not 'cause I'm evil or ostrich, but 'cuh my people turned prophets
[00:27.99] Already walking on water while the sea level's frothing
[00:30.65] Yeah, it's heavy, tread steady, but this ain't any old romance
[00:34.26] Baby, you were just my best lay and I never planned to hold hands
[00:37.58] 'Til the whole of human history aligned, so we could slow dance
[00:41.92] And those that came before us suffered more, so is it so bad?
[00:44.62] They carried us as hope inside their ovaries and gonads
[00:48.01] So sunburnt or drowned or deleted
[00:50.35] It is the end of we, but maybe we're the bitter seeds that grow into a lemon tree
[00:56.37] Yeah, the past and the future lives inside the present's energy
[00:59.42] To show show a little tenderness now, and love flows endlessly
[01:05.33] Time is on a loop, like the sun, that's its destiny
[01:09.93] So the truth is, how you lie here next to me, is how we'll forever be
[01:25.22]
