Lyrics

Backwards

It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole black hole control me
It's backwards I move in slowly
It's backwards you say it's all me

Restricted
Restricted by your turn of phrase
Conflicted
Not by what you say but how you say it
I need it, no
No, I don't need that C4
Explosive
But still I keep coming for more

It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole black hole control me
It's backwards I move in slowly
It's backwards you say it's all me

Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul
Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould
Why I feel like all of this is set in stone
Why I feel it's too late to telephone
Talk about it like we're adults
But the child in me can't let it go
The child in me is not responsible
For all the hurt that you've ever known

That shotgun and you've let it go
Like anytime you feel vulnerable
You can't tolerate your uncomfortable
You can't tolerate the uncomfortable

It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole black hole control me
It's backwards I move in slowly
It's backwards you say it's all me

It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole black hole control me
It's backwards I move in slowly
It's backwards you say it's all me

It's all me
It's all me
It's all me, wooo

It's all me
It's all me
It's all me, wooo

(Break away my)
(Break away my)
(Break away my)
(Break away my)
(Break away my)
(Break away my)
(Break away my)

It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole black hole control me
It's backwards I move in slowly
It's backwards you say it's all me
