I’ll Still Destroy You by The National
Album: Sleep Well Beast
Released : 2017
Genre: Indie Rock
It’s so easy to set off
The molecules and the caplets
They all have something against me
Nothing I do makes me feel different
This one’s like your sister’s best friends in her bed calling me to join them
Can’t avoid them
This one’s like your mother’s arms when she was young and sunburnt in the ’80s
Lasts forever
The more level they have me
The more I cannot stand me
I have helpless friendship
And bad taste in liquids
This one’s like the wilderness, without the world I’m gonna miss those longs nights, the windows open
I keep re-reading the same lines always up at 5am every morning
Like a baby
It’s just the lights coming on
It’s just the lights coming on
I have no positions
No point of view or vision
I’m just trying to stay in touch with anything I’m still in touch with
The sky’s getting whiter
I can’t find a liner anywhere I’m going crazy
I’m not crazy
Put your heels against the wall
I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you, I’ll still destroy you
It’s just the lights coming on
It’s just the lights coming on

● “I Need My Girl ”
[ Quotable ]
I’m under the gun again
I know I was a 45-percenter then
I know I was a lot of things
But I am good, I am grounded
Davy says that I look taller
But I can’t get my head around it
● “About Today ”
[ Quotable ]
How close am I
To losing you?
Hey
Are you awake?
Yeah, I’m right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?
● “Fake Empire ”
[ Quotable ]
Turn the light, out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let’s not try to figure out everything at once
It’s hard to keep track of you falling through the sky
We’re half awake in a fake empire
