Structure + Lyrics

Intro

Verse

I’m not alone cause the TV’s on, yeah
I’m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday
and rest, clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside with your grain
Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside

Chorus

salt sweat sugar on the asphalt
our hearts littering the topsoil
tune in, and we can get the last call
our lives, our coal
salt sweat sugar on the asphalt
our hearts littering the topsoil
sign up, it's the picket line or the parade
our lives

Verse

I’m not alone cause the TV’s on, yeah
I’m not crazy cause I take the right pills everyday

Clean your conscious, clear your thoughts, with speyside

Chorus

salt sweat sugar on the asphalt
our hearts littering the topsoil
