Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lorde, meet King Push
[Verse 2]
Life is like a costume party
Just cover the floors in Cavalli
Let's hide the hurt in a molly
We're all tryna be somebody else
You can't hide your tears in wealth
When your heart knows you hate yourself
It's all pain we felt
Just the way that the card's been dealt
[Verse 3]
Velvet rope, let us pass
Drop an olive in your glass
Put it on, a disguise
It's an opera of lies
Everyone on the run
Fifty feet all on the gas
Take him out, take him out
Gonna take him out
[Verse 4]
We're the only theory they can't prove
And we don't have anything to lose
[Verse 5]
In my eyes, in my ears, bring might
Love is only figured once in life
Tell the crowd, search the town
And we made it all meltdown
It's a full meltdown
[Verse 6]
Try to break her spirit so it shouldn't be surprising
That we're here with no fear and gave her uprising
Gonna blend in with the bullies and bureaucrats
Arrows pierce like lightning, choppers sound like thunder clap
Never will you stand, we gon' lay you down
Debonair and dapper kids coming in to take the town
Try to restrain us even though you trained us
We're better than you are, now we're gonna make you feed us
[Verse 7]
Velvet rope, let us pass
Drop an olive in your glass
Put it on, a disguise
It's an opera of lies
Everyone on the run
Fifty feet all on the gas
Take him out, take him out
Gonna take him out
[Verse 8]
We're all looking for status
Crustal sent over on gratis
Can't pretend we're not plastic
When these poker faces take practice
Who to trust, who to love
Who to run from, who to hug
Set fire to a government of thug
Respect only comes from the money or your blood
[Verse 9]
We're out sight, shadows of light
They're closing in and I know where we're going
But I don't know who I'll be
[Verse 10]
In my eyes, in my ears, bring might
Love is only figured once in life
Tell the crowd, search the town
And we made it all meltdown
It's a full meltdown
[Verse 11]
In my eyes, in my ears, bring might
Love is only figured once in life
Tell the crowd, search the town
And we made it all meltdown
It's a full meltdown
[Verse 12]
I can hear and see a ghost
I can't see
If you keep on acting up
I can't see
[Verse 13]
I can hear and see a ghost
I can't see
If you keep on acting up
I can't see
[Verse 14]
I can hear and see a ghost
(I wasn't meant to be)
'Cause I can't see
(And if you keep acting up)
I can't see
(I'm your undertow)
[Verse 15]
I can hear and see a ghost
(I wasn't meant to be)
'Cause I can't see
(And if you keep acting up)
I can't see
(I'm your undertow)
