Mantra - Sam Fender

«Please stop tryin' to impress people who don’t care about you»

I repeat as a mantra

I’ve known this wicked waltzer all too long

It’s the cycle I’m stuck on

And I’m tryin' to be better, but I fall at every hurdle

Please stop tryin' to find comfort in these sociopaths

Their beauty is exclusively on the surface

As they pull you side to side with all their drugs and who’s who stories

And fill that empty space from bein' a child

Or somethin' like that

Straddle these rustd wheels and pedal through the gridlock

On this dry summer venin', turn my phone off

I’m not receivin' anything or anyone

Just the sound of the empty caverns in my skull

Self-loathin' will be cold if I rise above this lull
