Peace and Quiet
The I.L.Y. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working 'till I bleed, going out my means about to seed a riot
Hoping I suceed, smoking on my weed, I need some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, a lease on islands, complete with a beach all I need's a pilot
Before I cease to breathe you know that I need to try it, Looking for relief of some peace and quiet,
[Verse]
Tired of the drama and the bomb that it makes
Honest, I'm exhausted, I'm demolished to flakes
I'm Not flawless, abolish the lock on the case
My Problems in pocket like ghost haunted estates
My vomit escapes, and my stomach is empty
The vilest of violence comes and ruptures it gently
The thump of the medly, the notes of the highest
Spoke on the ropes but then closed in the silence
Broken in piles, the hope of a child
Frozen in the moments and closed in denial
Throats have been opened and then cloaked in a vial
Tossed in the moss like Moses thrown in the Nile
Bro, I know you've been fighting for your own bread
My own head's full, been stressing for my homestead
Bone dead, tired, I'll give a piece if I'm able
Please, if you come in Peace there's a seat at my table
[Hook]
Working 'till I bleed, I'm going out my means about to seed a riot
Hoping I suceed, smoking on my weed, I need some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, a lease on islands, complete with a beach all I need's a pilot
Before I cease to breathe you know that I need to try it, Looking for relief of some peace and quiet
[Verse]
Peace and quiet, looking for the castle with a beach behind it
Done with the hassle, blueprint of a mantle where the peace of mind sits
What I mean is I dream when the cream sublime hits
Beam, with the bean and the meanest of wine kits
Finest, vines the greenest when my mind's lit
Wining, dining, fitted for Blindest
Bats, they're not giving for your kindness
Facts, vampires coming in to slay necks
Next, only to benefit their paychecks
Vexxed, got the measure and the pace set
They're Never taking risks only gamble in a safe bet
Bet, bet in this rodeo we're hog tied
And my drive falling faster than a log ride
Dog, why, it's what I see in my eye slit
Split, I want a piece of the peace and the quiet
[Hook]
Working 'till I bleed, going out my means about to seed a riot
Hoping I suceed, smoking on my weed, I need some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, a lease on islands, complete with a beach all I need's a pilot
Before I cease to breathe you know that I need to try it, Looking for relief of some peace and quiet,
[Bridge]
Peace and Quiet
All I really want is some peace and quiet
--------------------- Peace and Quiet
If I don't get a piece I'm about to unleash a riot
Peace and Quiet
All I really want is some peace and quiet
----------------------Before I cease to breathe
Looking for the relief of some peace and quiet
[Hook]
Working 'till I bleed, going out my means about to seed a riot
Hoping I suceed, smoking on my weed, I need some peace and quiet
Peace and quiet, a lease on islands, complete with a beach all I need's a pilot
Before I cease to breathe you know that I need to try it, Looking for relief of some peace and quiet,

Lyrics (credit to Genius):
{Chorus}
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
{Verse 1}
I used to get on so hardcore
Now I wanna touch you at the festival
I knew you were the nobody's lady
Doing on the stand above all things crazy
Daylight savings and I feel it again
Like your statuette after dead
I saw it now so I could see it then
It fails without or it fails within
{Pre-Chorus}
Don't just get me over with
Vacuums and outfits
Don't just get me over with
Vacuums and outfits
{Chorus}
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
Now I pick up my phone at tower of this house
Ego to the water till the sun comes out
Now tower includes do whatever I say
The tower of drought till the rain has its way
{Verse 2}
I need to let a new person know me
Finalize this sentence for me
Snap the succulents in your lap
Exclude the stance, I see you back
In a booth with vegetarian thinking
All of this bamboo and it's still blinking
Keep it on the bright side baby
I never safe bet the sound his making
{Pre-Chorus}
Don't just get me over with
Vacuums and outfits
Don't just get me over with
Vacuums and outfits
{Chorus}
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
Peace and quiet
You don't like it
Now I pick up my phone at tower of this house
People use water till sun comes out
Now tower includes whatever I say
The tower of drought rings how it's played
{Outro}
Oh baby come on, come on
Oh baby come on, come on
Oh baby come on, come on
Oh baby come on, come on
