Lyrics

Under (Boiler Room Demo Version)

[Verse 1]

Sophisticated bitter queen

You're the ghost in my machine

As I sit at my piano

And flick through every channel

Channeling those memories

Trying to put an end to these

I don't need you now

I don't need you now

I don't need you now

I don't, I don't

[Chorus]

I wonder, sit and watch you wonder

I see you manipulate your lover

Take cover, waves come crashing over us

And I go under

And, yes, I'm under your spell

Under

Waves come crashing over me

I'm somewhere in open sea

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm gasping for air

[Verse 2]

A nemesis, an enemy

You're the crack inside the screen

As I'm singing my soprano

Still flicking through the channels

Signal lost and out of reach

Your eyes become the TV screens

As I sit, I watch you walk my way

Static, the static on those screens now

We're together on this balcony, yeah

I'm still swimming in those eyes

You made it rain like you own the sky, oh

(You made it rain like you own the sky)
