Damnation
Tyla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you sail into the city of illusion
The promised land of the damp
And the fire burns in your eyes
Burns in your stomach
From all those lies
And you smother your dreams into your nights
Pre Chorus:
As the fever takes another bite
You ask a stranger for a lite
Then he haunts you for the rest of your
Your life.
You spend eternity in Damnation
Bought a gunpowder kiss at the station
And as you let go of your head
I said you will spend
You will spend
Baby you will spend
Your life in Damnation
This is Damnation
Damnation
This is Damnation yeah
Well the saphyr is the appointed coin of love
Flips into your lap
It's so unfortunate that you can find time to laugh
Pre Chorus:
This is Damnation
This is Damnation yeah
This is Damnation nation nation nation yeah
This is Damnation
This is Damnation
This is Damnation
This is Damnation
Yeah yeah yeah
