Inherent Vice Lyrics


Looking for love

to bury alive

A beating heart

A drum that can’t keep time

Hollow me out just to survive, I’m

a host in search of a parasite

Old skin

Won’t shed

A crooked body

The place we make our bed

Old haunts

Run red

Something lurks

That wants us to be dead

We’ve become noxious

I will destroy us

Erase from the Earth

The things we used to be

But your specter, it follows

your shadow’s following me

Undone by design

A busted hand

The way we measure time

Not everything is meant to die

But some things aren’t built to survive

Our past

Unknown

Try to hide the broken bones

Our past

Disowned

You know I don’t believe in ghosts

We’ve become noxious

I will destroy us

Erase from the Earth

The things we used to be

But your specter, it follows

your shadow’s following me

Not everything is meant to die

But some things aren’t built to survive

Old wounds

Made new

A thousand cuts

We can’t see who cut who

Old skin

Won’t shed

Helpless as the rotting spreads

Our past

Unknown

Try to hide the broken bones

Our past

Disowned

You know I don’t believe in ghosts

We’ve become noxious

I will destroy us

Erase from the Earth

The things we used to be

But your shadow’s following me
