Lorde:

  • pretty soon I'll be getting on my first plane / I'll see the veins of my city like they do in space
  • but when you're withdrawn / it's the closest thing to assault / when all eyes are on you
  • it's in your bloodstream / a collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
  • I'm sitting pretty on the throne / there's nothing more I want / except to be alone
  • we live in cities you'll never see on screen / not very pretty but we sure know how to run things
  • I'll let you in on something big / I am not a white teeth teen / I tried to join but never did / the way they are / the way they seem / is something else
  • You're my best friend so we're dancing in this world alone / we're all alone

Daughter:

  • And we were in flames / I needed, I needed you / to run through my veins / like disease / and now we are strange / strangers
  • I used to dream of adventure / when I was younger / with lungs miniature / but now we're killing our brain cells / is this called living / or something else
  • For my bones have found a place to lie down and sleep / where all my layers can become reeds / all my limbs can become trees
  • We are the reckless / we are the wild youth / chasing visions of our futures / one day we'll reveal the truth / that one will die before he gets there
  • We're setting fire to our insides for fun / collecting pictures from the flood that wrecked our home
  • Drifting apart like two sheets of ice / my love / frozen hearts growing colder with time
