Promises

Look

Baby, I can't promise you nothin'

I mean, the future could be all we need or plugs in a dustbin

I see the clouds all brewing, guess we're due for a floodin'

The cold blue light blinds, but my ark is your lovin'

A.I. in the sky, hummin'

The world's burning, but fuck it

Asleep, stomach-to-stomach is all I need, to be honest

Not 'cause I'm evil or ostrich, but 'cuh my people turned prophets

Already walking on water while the sea level's frothing

Yeah, it's heavy, tread steady, but this ain't any old romance

Baby, you were just my best lay and I never planned to hold hands

'Til the whole of human history aligned, so we could slow dance

And those that came before us suffered more, so is it so bad?

They carried us as hope inside their ovaries and gonads

So sunburnt or drowned or deleted

It is the end of we, but maybe we're the bitter seeds that grow into a lemon tree

Yeah, the past and the future lives inside the present's energy

To show show a little tenderness now, and love flows endlessly

Time is on a loop, like the sun, that's its destiny

So the truth is, how you lie here next to me, is how we'll forever be
