Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
[Verse 2]
Restricted
Restricted by your turn of phrase
Conflicted
Not by what you say, but how you say it
Oh, and I need it, no
No I don't need that C4
Explosive
But still I keep coming for more
[Verse 3]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
[Verse 4]
Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul?
Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould?
Why I feel like all of this is set in stone?
Why I feel it's too late to telephone?
[Verse 5]
And talk about it like we're adults
But the child in me can't let it go
The child in me is not responsible
For all the hurt that you've ever known
[Verse 6]
That shotgun and you've let it go
Like anytime you feel vulnerable
You can't tolerate, you're uncomfortable
You can't tolerate the uncomfortable
[Verse 7]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
[Verse 8]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
[Verse 9]
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
Woah
[Verse 10]
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
[Verse 11]
(Break away my)
[Verse 12]
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
