Kae Tempest – Nothing to Prove Lyrics

Kae Tempest Nothing to Prove Lyrics

You can keep the Mood-board. Look-book. Cake-walk. Hate-speech. Brass-neck. Face-lift. Hard right. Far left. I want doesn’t get. Drink more, suffer less. Click-bait. Mistake. Makeshift. Piss-take. Forcefield. Boredom. Risqué. Mistress. Solves Your Problems. Keep Up. Drift off. I want Lift Off

Hardcore. Last straw. Postcode. Passport. Class war. Stop suffering, dance more
Expect less than you asked for

I can understand staring at your hands like this wasn’t what I planned. I can really see how hard it is to be watching it all happen like this really isn’t me. I can really trust that when everything erupts our particles will still remember how they crushed
Each other into dust. Each other into dust. Everything’s enough. Everything erupts

Nothing to prove but bread
Nothing to lose but sleep
Nothing to do but less
Nothing to want but peace
Nothing to shoot but breeze
Nothing to hold but tight
Nothing to make but night
Nothing to hate but life
Noting to want but more
Nothing to take but time
Nothing to prove

You can keep the Screw-face. Top-Down. Jackpot. Group-think. Update. Newsflash. Latest. New thing. I get doesn’t want. Turn it off and on. Cut-throat. Catch-up. Blacklist. Binge-watch. Breakthrough. Breakdown. Your Round. My Shout. Nice life. Nice house. I want Lights Out

Hardcore. Dancefloor. Rosé. Nosebleed. Glass jaw. Stop suffering, laugh more.
Expect more than the last straw

I can understand staring at the sand shifting in the glass like this wasn’t what I planned. I can really see the edges of the key; it doesn’t fit the lock but you make it turn for me. I can really trust that when everything erupts nothing will be left untouched. I can really tell, even when it’s going well, the pendulum is readying to swing back on itself

Nothing to prove but bread
Nothing to lose but sleep
Nothing to do but less
Nothing to want but peace
Nothing to shoot but breeze
Nothing to hold but tight
Nothing to make but night
Nothing to hate but life
Nothing to want but more
Nothing to take but time
Nothing to prove

‘Sincerity reigns supreme
If you’re supposed to do it, you’ll do it
So, you keep doing it until it’s done. You get it did. U know like that?
It’s them ones where you just have to know
Sometimes it’s a trajectory
Sometimes it’s a journey that’s where the focus is. So, if it gets focused in the right way at the right time, it’s going to get done but you have to keep trying.
U know like that?’
