The Kill
Flying Lotus feat Niki Randa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Better days, I have seen them they leave, blew away
But there's a mark out on me
An arrow sent blades to defend his heart beating
Beat repeating
Embers of half sleep dream scape
The distance fades, I'm rearranging the game
Dont you want to play?
Burned in his gaze
A scarlet tongue and how it prays only to one shape.
