Ketamine For Breakfast Lyrics - Kate Tempest

Now look here, in the house opposite 

Black gate posts with a concrete frog squatting on top of it 

Through the hallway 

Ancient wallpaper, nicotine gold 

Up the stairs, rickety 

Loaded with history 

Here, in the top flat 

Flowers on the windowsill 

Little breeze fluttering the petals as they stare out 

At the city streets 

Gemma is awake 

What woke her? 

Open eyes, street lights float slowly through broken blinds 

She watches as the light plays across the tattered carpet 

And she holds herself tight in the room's half darkness 

It's cold 

She wedges her hands underneath her armpits 

It's 04: 18 

And Gemma's thinking

Before I was a adult 

I was a little wreck 

Peddling whatever I could get my grubby mitts on 

Ketamine for beakfast 

Bad girls were drinking with 

I gave 'em puppy dog eyes for the acid on their fingertips 

Heads in the basement 

Lips without faces 

Getting faced in, half-baked in a bakery 

Eating pastries 

Desperate for a body who could save me 

But I never really wondered what they gave me 

Always wanted something else 

Sweating in the door queue 

Spittin' like a villain in the pantomime old shoes 

Bad teeth 

Drinking in the rain with my ghost 

Sitting in the back of the class, comatose 

Uh, feelings on my back in the dark 

Hold me close 

But you never held 

I did some things I swore I'd never 

'Til that night you tried to kill me 

Run me down with your car in the snow 

I didn't realize I thought you would go 

Every day I live lives in the day I wake up in 

My dreams are all screaming "Oh fuck!" 

But I'm fine now 

Something remains, it's still pulling me 

Yeah my future is bright but my past tryna ruin me 

Tried to change it but I know 

If you're good to me I will let you go 

Tried to fight it but I'm sure 

If you're bad to me, I will like you more 

I saw some things when I was young 

That made me who I would become 

I feel them with me everyday 

'Cause if you try and run away 

They run beside you place for place 

Trip you up and drag your face 

Freedom out of every waste 

They chancing every bit of taste 

Heart is sprayed up with the names 

Of all my friends who lost their way 

Doesn't change it all remains 

It takes my strength and gives me shame 

All I want is someone great 

To make me everything I ain't 

But the only ones for me 

Are the ones that shouldn't be 

Even though I'm doing good 

I'm working hard, my work is strong 

Might be fun just for a while 

To go back to where my hurt is from 

Rinse myself through emptiness 

And push my body close to 

Anybody who can recognize the presence of my ghost 

Tried to change it but I know 

If you're good to me I will let you go 

Tried to fight it but I'm sure 

If you're bad to me I will like you more 

Tried to change it but I know 

If you're good to me I will let you go 

Tried to fight it but I'm sure 

If you're bad to me I will like you more
