Babylon
Jack Dice Lyrics

Well, I don't make any promises anymore but for you, I'd make an exception
I've lost trust in making commitments, except for you, I'm willing to make an exception.

Just let me have your attention, a moment
Please give me a moment of your undivided attention.

Maybe you'd notice, my motive still ain't clear
Perhaps you'll realize that my intentions are still unclear.

My solace it ain't sadness, but madness it's just like paint on my canvas
My comfort is not found in sadness, but in madness, which is like paint on my canvas of emotions.

You love me but it's hard to believe
You claim to love me, but I find it difficult to believe.

Cause I can't see how anyone could ever love me for me
I struggle to comprehend how someone could truly love me for who I am.

Maybe I'll see it when I'm gone and down the River like Phoenix
Perhaps I will only understand it when I'm gone, like a Phoenix rising from the River.

My Double Helix when Death Grips so tight at my weakest, yeah
My DNA's twisted structure symbolizes how Death has a strong grip on me when I'm at my most vulnerable.

Well, you could see just by the state he was in
By observing his condition, it was evident.

Still had to pick up all the pieces with no place to begin
Despite having no starting point, he had to gather all the scattered fragments.

But here she come without a clue she put together the parts
Without any knowledge, she managed to assemble the broken pieces.

When she was done and he was one he went and left her his heart, start
After completing her task, he became whole and left her his heart as a beginning.

Now in a few, he thought he'd come to his senses
After some time, he believed he would regain his rational thinking.

But it's still white picket fences, and hence his hesitant mention
Yet, he still longs for the idealized life, represented by white picket fences. So, he hesitates to bring up the topic.

Of love at first, when his guess is she would prefer someone else's
He wonders if she would rather be with someone else right from the beginning.

But when his words came out
But when he finally spoke his thoughts

They went and conquered could never alter reality
His words had a significant impact, but they could not change the existing reality.

Fully automatic tragedy actually see the gravity
A tragic event occurred suddenly and its severity is now clearly visible.

Slow dancing, romancing, turned into laughing
The intimate moments of slow dancing and romance transformed into mere laughter.

And planning on living in a 3 story mansion
They envisioned a future together, residing in a large mansion with three stories.

And maybe ranch and they prayed that this life could workout
They even contemplated owning a ranch and hoped for a successful life together.

But who am I to say, pretend they went adopted a dog let's call him Slater
However, who am I to speculate? Let's imagine they decided to adopt a dog and gave it the name Slater.

Now if Slater went and saw let's pretend he can maybe talk
Now, in this pretend scenario, imagine if Slater could speak.

Would he give the kids some advice, could he see it and empathize
Would he offer advice to the children and demonstrate understanding of their situation?

Probably not, he'd probably watch and wait from a distance
Most likely, he would merely observe and wait from afar.

The missus told him she planned to release him
The woman informed Slater that she intended to set him free.

Not him, I'm talking about the man that she thought that she knew
I'm not referring to Slater, but rather the man she believed she knew.

But Slater then went and bemused
Surprisingly, Slater went on to confuse or puzzle her.

He went and spoke to her telling her how she could work it all out
He approached her and advised her on how to resolve their issues.

Sort it all out, relieving her of the doubt
He encouraged her to find a solution, thus removing her uncertainty.

While she went and gave him his last meal
In the meantime, she prepared his final meal.

Too bad he isn't real I'm talking bout Slater
Unfortunately, he is not a real being; I'm referring to Slater.

Cause if he were maybe he could be their savior again
If Slater were real, he might have the potential to save their relationship once more.

God, I knew that it was true but it's Taboo
Oh God, I was aware of the truth, but it was considered a forbidden topic.

I can see that the Blacker the Balloon when it pop
I can perceive how the truth becomes darker and more unpleasant once revealed.

I refuse to be seen in the ballroom, old school
I reject the idea of being observed in the formal setting of a ballroom, as it is outdated.

Find me when I'm staring at the moon now, can you see me
You'll find me when I'm gazing at the moon, can you spot me?

See yourself in the mirror it ain't that deep
Recognize your own reflection in the mirror, it's not as complex as you think.

Fuck it I don't really give two fucks but I ain't tryna duck
Forget it; I genuinely don't care, but I'm not attempting to avoid the situation.

Inner issues it ain't that deep, maybe one day
My internal struggles are not too profound, perhaps someday

When you see it, maybe hear it on the runway
When you finally notice and maybe understand it, like a message heard on a fashion runway.

I know that I ain't flying coach first class
I'm aware that I'm not experiencing luxury or success.

No gas but I hate flying solo, but you don't know
I may not have the resources, but I despise being alone, though you are unaware of this.

How to heal but remember bout the deal
I don't know how to recover, but remember the agreement we made.

Keep it real, did you ever really care about how I feel
Be honest, did you ever genuinely care about my emotions?

Now was that real
Now, tell me, was that genuine?
