Kicking In versuri

Kicking In lyrics by Skittish

Verse 1
Drink up the wild air coming off the ocean
Leaf blower alarm clock is like an explosion
Can’t find the snooze
With a dilated eye and a headache
And you don’t mean it
But you like the way it feels when you say it
Like it might just manifest from a dream if repeated
In a beautiful habit of words
As the careless craft spills from the hills
And it fills this whole place like a bowl
A place where a soul can get what-what-whatever they want
But never comes sooner than you think
Reflections are bent and then over-extended
And it paints a big smile on my face

Chorus
‘Cause I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in, kicking in, kicking in

Verse 2
We sail on a ship of fools
Oh, what do you do when the crew is abysmal?
And I don’t remember who it was that had said it
That art is just anything that you can get away with
Like all of those silly songs of self-affirmations
Motivations from mansions of empty calories
Pitched and pocketed, planned, approved and marketed
So they know we’re in this together, but not really

Verse 3
Now I’m playing Polybius in a Portland arcade
A G-Man is there and he knows me by name
Circling truth, gerrymandered lies
Working overtime, he don’t even mind
„This is how I pay rent, this is not who I am all the time
And by my own admission, through age or attrition
Never thought I would be such a grump”

Chorus
But I feel it kicking in (Ooh)
I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in, kicking in, kicking in

Bridge
Now she’s trying to get better the same way she got sick
Playing her trauma like a good hand of cards
So hot, so bored, and never been ignored
Born on the third and expecting applause, oh
If beauty is short-lived tyranny
And I’d like to hold on to my head
Let other men fight, I’ll be opting for flight
And get lost in the cups once again

Chorus
‘Cause I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking in
?
I feel it kicking in, kicking in, kicking in
I feel it kicking in, oh
I feel it kicking in
I feel it kicking me out of the way
I feel it kicking in, kicking in, kicking in
