Petrol Girls Unsettle
[Verse 1]
Truth be told
I'm ruled by desire
It runs cold
I'm losing my ire
Truth be told
I'm missing the fire
Will we grow old
Forget and tire?
[Refrain]
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
[Verse 2]
I get by in the worlds I conjure
Clinging to the thought of some things that once were
I survive though I often wonder
Think up other lives, live an internal war
I get by with the words I conjure
Longing for something more
[Chorus]
Let's unsettle
Let's unfold
Don't want this future
Truth be told, truth be told
[Bridge]
What if we are pouring into pre-made moulds
A future told, bought and sold
And I want to be held but not held back
What if we set hard and crack
Brittle in the face of change
Splinters of who we were caught in our chests
So it hurts to speak and we turn away from one another
I am home wherever the sky moves fast
The weather systems rush by and nothing lasts
But I think I want us to
And I don't want to need you
But I am lost here where words won't help me
I am just a shrinking body
[Chorus]
Let's unsettle
Let's unfold
Don't want this future
Truth be told
Don't want this future
Don't want this future
[Outro]
I don't want this future
I don't want this future
I don't want this future
I don't want this future
