lyrics

I think I might kill myself tonight
But I prayed to Yukko and saw the light
I was sitting in the back of a taxi
Late night out and no trains that go past 3
Brother asks me where I’m heading at
I say I don’t know but I wanna tell him stop at that street
We was just off Shortland and I was wanting
To go see if that car park’s still there
The one I went up back when I was 15 with the boys
Making scenes in the city when the night’s clear
Everything back then was so sweet
But it seems like that dream turned into a nightmare
So I’m tryna go back imma run up them stairs
When I’m there imma fly in the light air
Cause Tom Scott said that one thing
Where I come from the suicide rates are higher than a junky
But when I hear that I feel nothing
Cause I’ll prolly end up dead and overdose off of something
Next day I was at uni getting drunk at the bar
But it’s time for me to come home
But instead I’m near Queen street and now I’m thinking
What’s that one car park with an extra floor?
Victoria street is where I meet my fate
And now I’m late and my mums tryna call me
But I’m staring at the top just imagining my drop
And I feel the darkness start to draw me
Cause I hate this city and I hate my
Place in the world where they just ignore me
And my mother’s sick
And I got too much trauma
To be dealing with
Let my thoughts absorb me
I might kill myself tonight
But I prayed to
