Genesis Owusu
peaches & scream
[Chorus]
When you reach, when you reach inside, what do you find?
You’re a peach but I’m a vine, no time to eat, I need to climb
[Verse 1: imbi the girl]
I need to climb that ladder
No I ain’t no one’s bad bitch but wish I could be badder
And no I’m not your bad ‘boy’ but ‘boy’ makes me less sadder, no matter
I guess I’m doing it anyway
How can I say, try not to care what you think, no I don’t drink
Yes I’ve been thinking a lil’ bout that click, it didn’t stick but it
But it made me realise I don’t like you I just have a thing for really pretty guys
Plus your eyes are unfair, everyone that you stare at
Faces instant impairment in their judgement, yes endearing but repulsive
Bottom line is, I just don’t know what I want anymore
I don’t know, so I reach and I reach and I...
[Chorus]
When you reach, when you reach inside, what do you find?
You’re a peach but I’m a vine, no time to eat, I need to climb
[Verse 2: Genesis Owusu]
Sometimes its hard just to breathe
Pulling myself to my feet
Little feet they pitter patter over kitchen floors and lego splattered
What I dream with you was shattered bitter batter cookie dough we ain't planned it we ain't Saturn we need a ring
I’ve been attaching and I’ve seen some things, if we’re separate together we’ll see what brings
I am a vine but I cannot ignore my thorns, and I’m needing to put you aside so that I can have my thoughts, the time won’t fly by fine but I need to climb
[Bridge]
Climb
Inside
[Outro: imbi the girl]
Climbing stocking ladders to eternal matters
Is it true I’ll have to sacrifice that new love
You know, the one we made up in the movies that, ‘two’ love ?
I mean, I know it’s not real I just keep feeling this hefty feel, like these folks are reeling me in and I guess I’m getting better at observing
And I guess it’s some deep wound that has been festering but I am unstitching the dodgy needle-work as we speak
And I guess, I don’t want to speak to you as much for now
