Newborn Life Teething
Novi Split Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sing me to sleep. a little innocence.
The wants I have when I wake you.
Every sleepless night has been the time of my life.
I just wanted to thank you.
We live in low rent.
Find god in basements.
What will sustain you.
My family hates you.
If you're not close to me now,
I'm gonna kill you.
I'm gonna kill you.
God, help us. we're failing.




God, help us. we're failing.
God, help us. we're failing.
