lyrics

I wanna tell you nothing is true
I chipped a tooth on the things I said to you
Hit the bottom line, landed on my face
I’m flat out, taking all the space
Big world you look good from down here
Big girl, stand up, what’s around here?
All the little things I recognise
On my feet, twice the size

So won’t you pull me up again
I’m full of holes, wearing thin
But there’s still enough to keep you dry
I’ll keep my shape
We’ll pass the time

I wanna tell you nothing is true
I chipped a tooth but I think that I’ll pull through
Pick the pieces up, we can cut and paste
A bit torn but I ain’t erased
Big world, nice moves, let 'em twist you
Big girl, looking good it fits you
In the middle, and I’m mesmerised
In between, twice as high

Sound quality of 'Nyx Tape' track is terrible. Midrange is very aggressive in some parts. Kogda Nikogda
