Genesis, pt. ii
RAYE
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don’t wanna die
A fistful of pills, you're a nobody
Yeah (uh-uh), yeah (uh, uh-uh), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (uh, uh-uh)
(Let there be light)
Yeah (uh-uh), yeah (uh, uh-uh), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Bang-bang, that's depression at the door again
You know he’ll beat the door down till you let him in the room
Since you are already acquainted, you skip the foreplay
He grips you at the neck as you prepare to be screwed
You try to muster a flare, to tell somebody you're sinking
But anxiety is an index finger pressed to your lips
A whiskey bottle, it whispers, since you're already bitter
A cocktail fit for a quitter: Come here and give me a kiss
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don't wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've nothin' left to lose, dear God in the sky
Hear my cry, hear my cry
When it's too dark to see
Let there be light, let there be light
Let there be light
Yeah (uh-uh), yeah (uh, yeah-yeah), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (uh, uh-uh)
(Let there be light)
Yeah (uh-uh), yeah (uh, yeah-yeah), yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah (uh, uh-uh)
Yes, I edit my pictures to make my waist look slimmer
And make my ass look bigger so that I'm someone you aspire to
Let me in your algorithm, please
I know I’ll only be important if I'm someone you would like, follow, share, and subscribe to
If you’re thirsty like me (like me)
Mix some pity with some self-hate
Stir it up, then add twelve ounces of rosé
That's how I make the glass half-empty and drink it down
Beneath the curse words and the insecurities
Here lies a sorry little soul
And she doesn't even know what to pray for
Still just a heart-broke bitch
But I traded the back of the nightclub, I did, for the bathroom floor
I wish I could call my ex
He would know just what to say (he don't say nothing at all now)
Brings a tear to my eye
The only thing I rely on him to do is stay declining my calls now
I see a sad little sinner in the mirror
The devil works hard, like my liver
I don’t wanna be alive, but I don't wanna die
A fistful of pills and rivers in my eyes
I've nothin' left to lose, dear God in the sky
Hear my cry, hear my cry
When it's too dark to see (let there be light)
Let there be light, let there be light
Let there be light
