Lyrics

Stagger

A crisis without a cause
Faith put in a false God
A misstep of emoting
I'm trying to get to where I'm going
A new way to call it off
You leaned in when I told you to stop
My heart is now imploding
I'm trying to get to where I'm going
Stagger on through life backwards
You stagger on through life backwards
Backwards, backwards, backwards
You're quite the oppositionist
So your habits you're not trying to quit
Out of fear and loathing
I'm just trying to get to where I'm going
You see the mountain is just a cliff
And I can't talk you down from it
The road home is eroding
I'm just trying to get to where I'm going
Stagger (stagger) on through life backwards
You stagger (stagger) on through life backwards
Backwards, backwards, backwards
Now I'm waving the white flag
I had your back but you got me bad
My loyalty has put me back
And I'm learning lessons and not getting attached
Stagger (stagger) on through life backwards
You stagger (stagger) on through life backwards
Backwards, backwards, backwards
Backwards, backwards, backwards
Backwards, backwards

Poppy has no interest in proving how metal she is

Poppy is already bracing for the tired authenticity tests - and has zero interest in passing them. Her swaggering new album 'Empty Hands' turns fury into something exhilarating, with tenderness and resolve flickering beneath the blast.
