-
every day you're digging at the cavity
sinking to the bottom of the pool
the doctor said your shame is eating everything
but when you're in love, you get so cruel
when you're alone it's all you think about
pulling little bugs out of your skin
crack open your skull, you are an embryo
and you can eat yourself again

plastic dripping through the feeding wire
liquid metals in your blood
hard to keep sleeping when the room's on fire
they're cutting deeper than they should
tried to call her from the southbound train
thought you were headed somewhere new
but you wake up on the floor again
the concrete pouring out of you

now every night you are a scientist
stirring up your blood until it's clean
fill yourself with fantasy and klonopin
it's why you keep on dying in your dreams
something's just been fucking with your chemicals
you can see your halo in the mirror
paralyzed in sleep, you are the alchemist
she's on her back a thousand miles from here

want to be hunted like an animal
feel yourself torn between her teeth
your black eyes bloom in the kaleidoscope
the spinning colours make you weak
cocaine left holes in the occipital
your starry eyes are burning out
dig your grave and lie down quietly
there's nowhere left to go but down

[hadley]

Time to put this on repeat for two months

My dream is to at least once, sit in the same room interviewing Flower Face, The Paper Kites, Ghostly Kisses, Sleeping at Last and Daughter, and ask them how does it feel to be so talented and how does it feel being able to translate one's talent so perfectly.... This song right here is a sweet masterpiece <3

Lyrics :

Every day, you're digging at the cavity
Sinking to the bottom of the pool
The doctor said your shame is eating everything
But when you're in love, you get so cruel
When you're alone, it's all you think about
Pulling little bugs out of your skin
Crack open your skull, you are an embryo
And you can eat yourself again

Plastic dripping through the feeding wire
Liquid metals in your blood
Hard to keep sleeping when the room's on fire
They're cutting deeper than they should
Tried to call her from the southbound train
Thought you were headed somewhere new
But you wake up on the floor again
The concrete pouring out of you

Now every night you are a scientist
Stirring up your blood until it's clean
Fill yourself with fantasy and Klonopin
It's why you keep on dying in your dreams
Something's just been fucking with your chemicals
You can see your halo in the mirror
Paralyzed in sleep, you are the alchemist
She's on her back a thousand miles from here

Want to be hunted like an animal
Feel yourself torn between her teeth
Your black eyes bloom in the kaleidoscope
The spinning colours make you weak
Cocaine left holes in the occipital
Your starry eyes are burning out
Dig your grave and lie down quietly
There's nowhere left to go but down

[zulalala]

i am speechless. it's just... i'm paralyzed.

[kazzamora]

Ruby this is too good like the lyrics, the video and you look truly mesmerizing in the video. You’re my absolute favorite artist without a doubt

[banan]

this song makes me feel something so beautiful that i cant explain

[SimonNevens]

Am I the only one who's imagining this song playing at the climax of an episode in an alternative melo-dramatic tv show?

[Gumi_wumii]

This is the kinda song that would play on a foggy morning and you’re funning through the streets in a plaid skirt and a cardigan.

[summersoller]

this is the best song that has ever been made

[bluedahliacharles]

I'm tapering of klonopin at this very moment it's been 3 months of tapering and it's been a physical mental hell I've been bed ridden most days and catatonic some days I've done hard drugs in my past the withdrawls from it are worse than cocaine and heroin combined this song hit a cord in my soul so deeply and makes me feel so much less alone and that something beautiful can be made of the experience and anguish....

[ecesrui]

kaleidoscope is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard, I really love your voice and music

[darioan]

YOU PUT THE SCREAM ON THE SONG. This Is a Masterpiece, Ruby, Can't wait for the album.
Btw, The Video kinda remembered me to "Dark" series intro🖤

[juliam]

this is the most beautifully crafted song and video i have ever experienced in my entire life 💙💜

[Wild_Pennsylvania]

I understand that everybody is different, however the fact that somebody gave this a thumbs down completely blows my mind.

[overmorrow]

This just inspired me to write some dark folk song. Omg

[elle-oesh]

this song brings me to another dimention of the universe that i don't even know.

[r_wispy]
