The Flipside - Griffinilla

Can't leave you alone We can't leave you alone no You can't hide from the flipside Your foolish pride Can't sustain the strain Trouble bubbles inside You can try but you cannot resist If we insist Persistent, every instant, every moment in time We are on your mind Can't leave you alone We can't leave you alone no We have ways to make you understand We demand you let us in Under your skin You tuned in to the frequency We can't let you be We live happily Beneath On the underneath On the inside The flipside Can't leave you alone We can't leave you alone no In your search for contentment Tormented, unrelenting Turbulent intent And all the money spent You will listen precisely to each word As it reoccurs We insinuate, irritate, we can't dissipate Deflate your ego Give up self control Can't leave you alone We can't leave you alone no We can't leave you alone Can't leave you alone no When will it end? Delerium is back again We will suspend Numbskulls are back around again Trouble bubbles inside You cannot hide from the flipside We are in your mind Every instant, every moment in time We're alive and we will survive As a part of you Listen if we want you to Can't you see? Just a part of you are we Surround sound you can't turn it down A little frequency dependency You are we, all on your own We can't leave you alone no We can't leave you alone We can't leave you alone no We can't leave you alone We just can't leave you alone (Give up self control)

London, summer '92: I think I've changed a lot, since then. Do you? Ideas that I'd held for years, Emotional baggage, hopes and fears Seen somehow in a different light: Not as wrong, but not as right as they seemed before. Was I different, then? Have I changed? Will I change again? I'm thinking of a mental free-fall, A partial total memory recall Like "what of the future, what of the past, what of the present will last?". Say I did forget and revert to the old days, forget this hurt. Am I better off or in reverse? Untaught by experience and, therefore, worse? I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm like a coastline, a beach and spit, Spurn Point and the rest of it: I'm the sea, the tide, the salt and foam. I'm the blasted land, the sand shifting, drifting out and back Then breached, drowned, defenses down, Rebuilt from this day on, or maybe not: Maybe my moment's gone. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little. Am I the same person I seemed to be? Does all of this depress me? I won't listen. I won't talk. A weightless life. I moonwalk. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I'm supple, brittle, pig in the middle. There's resilience inside my face, but sometimes nothing. Deep space... What I feel and what I fear Is always here, my atmosphere. Pig in the middle. I mean a lot, I mean a little. I mean a lot, I mean a little.

You want me in the morning yeah You want me in my feels all day I'm sorry I don't wanna feel that way I ain't tryna fill that space right now So I hit you with the warning, yeah I'm afraid that I might hurt somebody If I talk about it yeah I don't want to hurt you but you don't want to leave me alone So I move I've got to move I don't wanna be rude But I don't wanna be near you So I move So Don't act a fool I don't wanna be rude But I I wanna sleep all, sleep all day So catch me on the flipside I'm not around for us to play I'll be on my own flight In my head, I'm up in space Baby, I be feeling sideways So catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside Catch me on the flipside You say I'm overthinking things Hate that you downplay my feelings I really gotta tell you how it is I really gotta make you picture this These days I find it hard to speak Feel suffocated mentally I really hope that this is making sense Know it ain't a personal offense I move I've got to move I don't wanna be rude But I don't wanna be near you So I move So Don't act a fool I don't wanna be rude But I I wanna sleep all, sleep all day So catch me on the flipside I'm not around for us to play I'll be on my own flight In my head, I'm up in space Baby, I be feeling sideways So catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside Catch me on the flipside I'll be alright If you give me tonight Just me by my side I don't wanna hear your conversation So don't complicate it I wanna sleep all, sleep all day So catch me on the flipside I'm not around for us to play I'll be on my own flight In my head, I'm up in space Baby, I be feeling sideways So catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside okay Catch me on the flipside Catch me on the flipside
