Shai Brides - Gatling Gun

//

I got away
And it felt so strange
And as the day fell into the night
I finally felt my age
I'm gonna get right to it
Gotta get through it
And god I feel miraculous now
Oh what a hill to die on
I can't get out of my own way now

I'm gonna cut you down with a gatling gun
And I'm gonna love it
Gonna love it

Hey
I've been wondering if it's okay
Okay for me to tell you everything I was always too shy to say
We've gotta get worlds away now
There's not a lot left to say now
I'm capable of being friendly
But don't get on the wrong side of me

I'm gonna cut you down with a gatling gun
And I'm gonna love it
Gonna love it

(Do it)
I'm going down in history
And I'm gonna take you with me

I'm gonna cut you down with a gatling gun
Gonna cut you down with a gatling gun
Gonna cut you down with a gatling gun
And I'm gonna love it
Gonna love it

Shai Brides - Don't Matter

//

I’m still trying to break the eye contact
We made about a week ago
Yeah I looked and you were mouthing something dirty
With the force of a cannonball
And it’s only the part of the story
Where we flirt and then you ignore me
It’s true
But through the fading rumination
Regret and illumination
It’s always been you
 
The world’s a big place for two people
And life’s a long time to live in regret
You could be one in a million or you could be nothing
So why can’t I get you out of my head
 
And I’ve got to ask
Where would we be
If we were five years older
Our lives were stuck on hold
And you were looking back at me
I did some yoga and I thought about the things that I missed
And I know I should’ve focused on my breathing but I couldn’t resist
 
And I never think clear any more
Because I’m always overthinking of you
The imagination pleases me
But – oh my god – it freezes me
And I can never follow it through

The world’s a big place for two people
And life’s a long time to live in regret
You could be one in a million or you could be nothing
So why can’t I get you out of my head
 
‘Cause I know better than you
I don’t matter to you
I know better than you
I don’t matter to you

Don't Matter

Shai Brides - Little Things

//

Let go and we’ll put the effort in
But – oh no! – I think it’s a big big disaster
Don’t sweat the little things
‘Cause I don’t think we will do anything

The water's coming

It was the day of the dead
With a blue sky beaming on a bone-dry riverbed
Well at times like these you’ve got to laugh
And I would but I fear that my head might fall off

Don’t doubt my devotion
‘Cause I’m serious
I built my house from plastic straw
And now the plastic wolf is at my door
Don’t doubt my devotion
I spilled my guts in a private ocean
Let me come home

I’m scared my dears
I’m petrified of doing nothing
But ice melts and people freeze
I’m scared my dears
Of dying in slow motion
The water’s coming over my knees

The water's coming

And the palm oil trees
Really let down the street
Crawling through the neighbourhood
Growing for the greater good
The economy’s surviving
It’s a shame we won’t be alive in time to see
The twenty-second century

Don’t doubt my devotion
I just can’t conjure enough emotion to take it all in

I’m scared my dears
I’m petrified of doing nothing
But ice melts and people freeze
I’m scared my dears
Of dying in slow motion
The water’s coming 
The water’s coming

Let go and we’ll put the effort in
But – oh no! – I think it’s a big big disaster
Don’t sweat the little things
‘Cause I don’t think we will do anything
The lifeblood that I am inheriting
Is plastic! – I think it’s a big big disaster
Don’t sweat the little things
‘Cause I don’t think we can do anything

The water’s coming
