​nihilist blues

Lyrics

[Intro: Grimes] Ooh, ooh Ooh, oh, oh [Verse 1: Oli Sykes] I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door Buried in the basement floor, didn't know what I had planted It blossomed with all the heart of a Cold War [Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes] I'm a spirit in a tomb Won't somebody raise the roof? I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue Do you mind if I'm exhumed? I'm the ashes in the plume I'm a beggar in the ruin I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through I'm only lonely for the truth [Chorus: Oli Sykes] Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth Please, don't follow [Post-Chorus: Oli Sykes] Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth Please, don't follow [Interlude: Grimes] Light as a feather, stiff as a board Sink, I sink to the floor, I sink to the floor Light as a feather, stiff as a board (Oh) [Verse 2: Grimes] You were in my dream last night, but your face was someone else's A twitch in my spine, a mutual disorder Isolation neophyte, too afraid to taste your conscience You march in the dark, little lamb to the slaughter [Pre-Chorus: Oli Sykes] I'm a spirit in a tomb Won't somebody raise the roof? I'm going white, I'm going black, I'm going blue Do you mind if I'm exhumed? I'm the ashes in the plume I'm a beggar in the ruin I'm peaking out, I'm burning up, I'm shooting through I'm only lonely for the truth [Chorus: Grimes] Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth Please, don't follow Paradise is in my soul, and I'm terrified I can't get out I'm lost in a labyrinth, we are lost in a labyrinth Please, don't follow [Post-Chorus: Grimes] Please, don't follow Please, don't follow Please, don't follow Please, don't follow (Please, don't follow) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) [Outro: Oli Sykes] I've been climbing up the walls to escape the sinking feeling But I can't hide from the nihilist at my door
