Jaz Caitcheon - Late to the Party Lyrics

Shallow your thoughts, shadow your dreams when you bleed
Illicit nightmares, anxie-ecstacy
Keeping you enthroned while your lovers roam the streets
Staying up 'till three watching conspiracies
And man you need some inspiration but you lack the energy
And there's some sure determination that you're destined to be free
But now you like it alone, become accustomed to it
Just need to slow life down and put some trust into it

Late to the party again
It's getting old when your plans don't prevail
Engulfed in your smoke and regret
Tired of feeling so frail

But still I'm sad about the way humans inhabit this world
Remove environments so tyrants can wreak havoc on pearls
And people disregard the state of your girl, see
Mother nature's taking one for the team, she's gonna hurl
And that's the catalyst of my anxiety
The more I know the more I want to think less about that side of me
The show that these actors put on, these athletes put on
Even me, writing this song feels like
Distraction from the way we turn our backs to the poor
Or consistently contribute to this economic war uh,
We'd rather call out Uber eat to the door
Than instinctively collect our food, as would a boar, yeah
Thriving for survival at night, while we snore
Foraging for anything edible on the floor
Defend yourself from predators who want that apple more
Or if you've got the credit card, then go to the store

And so I sit alone at home under the roof that protects me
Waiting for the spirits and the gods just to text me
Tell me that I'm late for a party and then dress me
Forget about the system that the power has set me

Fate got me starving again
On my plate I got privilege instead
And I'm late to the party again
On my plate, I got demons instead

Late to the party again
It's getting old when your plans don't prevail
Engulfed in your smoke and regret
Tired of feeling so frail
