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
