Coal Lyrics

Look, ain't life funny?

It makes sense when you can't make money

We're so tense 'cos the hard day's coming

Adding up the heart ache

What you can't take from me

I know pressure and it's self imposed

I know either I've been missing or I stretched the goals

I got demons rooted in my family

So when I look under the tree I'm seeing heroes

The rest is coal

I call that fuel for the fire

Pit burning the skin verse human desire

Of course we can win but that journey is tired

Searching in circles and turning for miles, yeah

And I know, maybe it's the destination

But I'm sick of having maybe as the destination

I know that certainty is a myth and hope is merely a religion

I heard Frank Ocean talking unrequited feelings

Like my love for the world gets deeper

I might capsize in it

Or I'll make a cocoon from this typhoon

Turn into a butterfly, been baptised in it

I know the basics of shapes and we grow on a globe

So it's pointless to try pick sides on it

Still life is a weight for the shoulders to take

I know people it breaks and we cry on it

Coal, that's the coal

That's the, that's the coal

Look, ain't life gorgeous?

Every house of cards getting mortgaged

We know death is the one true promise

But life being fleeting is keeping us honest

Yeah, but we all see the junction

Difference in fun and in function

The signs all backwards, lights all burnt out

Trying to find a way in, how it turns out

Guided by the bodies in the sky

But afraid of the dark

No stage recitals, playing our part

The same boat, same cycles

Shaping the ark

How you trust gut feelings and blaming the heart?

That's just anatomy

It ain't good choice, bad choice

It's what it had to be

I wrote good karma, I hope he gets back to me

He ain't been around much and it's sad to see

Still I know that I'm feeling

Like my love for the world gets deeper

I might capsize in it

Or I'll make a cocoon from this typhoon

Turn into a butterfly, been baptised in it

Wait, it's time to break the pattern

If it may be, I'll make it happen

If it can't then I'll try anyway

And make peace where the cards lie

Plant a little sign say Asarlai

Still my love for the world's old fashioned

Coal powered, all passion

There's strength in the hurt and a weakness in blind eyes

Feet on the ground but the time flies

I done seen the void and it saw me too

It showed me even globes have a point to prove

And there's people we miss and sometimes it breaks us

We're all carbon but coal ain't the only thing that makes us
