a world of chaos
Powfu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spilled a glass of wine and stained the kitchen floor
We never used to fight, but now it feels like war
Sadness in our home
But at least I'm not alone (uh, ayy)

Spilled a glass of wine and stained the kitchen floor
We never used to fight, but now it feels like war
Diggin' nails into my bones
I'm never happy in this home

I'm waking up at night, when sleep is hard to catch
I never see you smile, you never call me back
Yeah, we're breakin' on both sides
Tryin' to find peace under the sky

We got thrown off of our axis
With that newborn up in the backseat
All these plot twists without happiness
Now our ending bouta be tragic
We need real love when that time comes
Shelter you from that violence
I'm acknowledging everything I've done
As I'm fighting my way through this crisis

Stop pulling on my t-shirt
Nothing's getting better
I just need a breather
I'm not good under pressure
I know that it's hard but I'll be here 'til forever
I love all your scars
Rainy days I'll change your weather

Spilled a glass of wine and stained the kitchen floor
We never used to fight, but now it feels like war
Diggin' nails into my bones
I'm never happy in this home

I'm waking up at night, when sleep is hard to catch
I never see you smile, you never call me back
Yeah, we're breakin' on both sides
Tryin' to find peace under the sky

Ayy, send a text no answer
Don't know what you after
Try to focus on old times
Those happy moments we captured
I know
That naturally we make mistakes
This time
I'm slowly stepping off the brakes

Sleep all day
Staying up all night
Tryna hide from God
Hard to do what's right

Always want you more
With all the days that pass
If we break up now
Know that I'll always look back

Spilled a glass of wine and stained the kitchen floor
We never used to fight, but now it feels like war
Sadness in our home
But at least I'm not alone

I'm waking up at night, when sleep is hard to catch
I never see you smile, you never call me back




Yeah, we're breakin' on both sides
Tryin' to find peace under the sky
