lyrics

Intro:
One dot in the mix, doesn't really fix, anything
One shot in the dark, leaves the whole world, blind

Verse One:
Working for the man now
It makes the money but it don’t make sense
Getting paid in excuses
All you wanted to taste was success
Just keep climbing up the ladder
Eyes on you with your eyes on the prize
You’re just a pawn in the game, now
You’ll never make it out alive

Bridge:
Yeah, we've been to the top of the mountain
And there's really nothing to see
Tables with seats, nobody eats, clearly

Hook:
One dot in the mix, doesn't really fix, anything
One shot in the dark, leaves the whole world, blind
Loose the game, and get played, like a token
One dot in the mix? Please don't waste my time

Verse Two:
Punching the clock, now
Twice as hard to be seen just as good
The machine ain’t friendly
Spits you out and you feel used
You thought it was about the work?
But it’s not about that, no
Don’t step outta line
Everybody just wants a good time

Bridge

Hook

Outro:
Pay me what you owe me
But you ain’t got nothing for me
I run races, earn places, but you get to keep the trophy
Not a pawn or a pundit
I got dreams, you can fund it
I turn maybe’s to yes’s
No guesses, you know I run it

Bridge

Hook x2

What an amazing and strange album! I remember the first time I heard of Josiah's work was a FADER article on Twitter about his debut EP. An EP which I liked but this album I love. Especially the track "cherubim". It's the most intense and moving track on here. It makes me want to move and dance as wildly as Josiah and his lover did in the music video for it. I can't wait to see what Josiah does in the future. John
