The air is heavy or is it chase me
I'm not sure if it's just the atmosphere or if something is troubling me
I can't control the way he looks at me
I feel powerless against the way he stares at me
In my mind, trying to rewind
I keep replaying things in my head, trying to change what's already happened
I'm feeling sex, I am.request.
I'm experiencing sexual desire and I want to act on it
You were good to me, now I'm good to you
You treated me well in the past, so now I want to treat you well
Pull the cute for you.
I'll make an effort to be attractive just for you
Worked out in.
I've figured things out for myself
So I think I have to let you go,
I've decided that I need to move on from you
And so won't let you go, and I
Despite my decision, I'm struggling to actually let go of you
I'm so...
I'm feeling incredibly emotional and conflicted
I'm about to leave,
I'm on the verge of departing from this situation
I'm about to leave
I'm almost ready to walk away
I'm bout to leave oh,
I'm getting closer to leaving
I'm bout to leave ohh,
I'm really close to leaving now
I'm bout to leave
I'm just about to leave

The air is heavy
Or is it just me
I can't control the way you looked at me
Need to let my mind
Trying to rewind
You were good to me now I'm good to you.
Would die any day
Now I am all around you.
So I...let you go.
And so I let you go.
And I
Come back to me.
Come back to me oh.
Come back to me.
Back.
Something like that. I'm missing a few lines here and there though.

Looking back at it, Butterclock / Laura Clock was underrated. What's crazy to me is, she even managed to DJ at Berghain! Personally, I enjoy the ghostly, almost otherworldly voice she liked to infuse her music with. Laura definitely stands out to me as a princess of Witch House.
Chance Fox Hauck
Seriously underrated. She had the spooky dance music vibe wayyy before everyone else. I think Grimes' and Butterclock's music have a lot in common
Luna Noon
Her voice is like an organic orgasm, seriously, I could listen to her daily and get the tingles. She's so underrated.
