Lately ( Devlin) - Ed Sheeran.mp3

[00:21.54]I seem to find myself talking to the powers that be
[00:24.01]Awaking the shade and shadowed under towering trees
[00:27.12]Admiring the scene, inhaling fumes of flowers that breathe.
[00:29.48]Jet-lagged eyes are begging for an hour to sleep
[00:32.22]Although my blood shot whites and irises they never find any
[00:35.34]Clock stops at times where the sunshine can blind many
[00:38.07]Although my eyes are heavy, they won't be closing soon
[00:40.99]'Cause I heard that time waits for nobody, I suppose it's true
[00:43.53]We make corrosive tunes through acid tabs and vocables
[00:46.18]To see the flashing lights at photo shoots, we make our motive moves
[00:48.73]I say whatever I feel to vent a rhyme
[00:51.35]So I can still invent the lines and stay close to the friends of mine
[00:54.34]"'Cause real will recognise real" is what my father says
[00:56.90]And I'll be sticking to this phrase until I pass away
[00:59.52]Overworking, no sleep is just another way to die slow
[01:03.03]But I'll just keep going strong and never let my eyes close.
[01:07.84]5 o'clock with lights off
[01:08.86]Interview with a vampire
[01:10.07]Sleep is for the living and not a utensil that I require
[01:12.54]I swear I said, that I'll sleep when I'm dead
[01:15.35]Who's on the beat upon the feature with Ed, it's D-E-V to the Z
[01:19.10]Overtired, pale-faced like Michael Myers
[01:21.34]Bags underneath my eyes can show the baggage I've acquired
[01:24.16]And over the time within this mazeyou seek to find until your dying
[01:26.16]I'll think you'll find you'll never find that piece of mind
[01:28.16]you seek to find until your dying
[01:30.00]'Cause I got too much to stay awake for,
[01:32.00] to sleep or even take 4, seconds out the game
[01:33.20]It's time to wage war
[01:35.26]Scissors, grab a sword, and sharpen up your hunting knives
[01:37.55]2 psychopathic lyricists are driving on the hunt tonight
[01:40.26]I’m haling from the EssexAnd the East London boarder line
[01:43.20]Villains never sleep the mastermind in all sorts of crimes,
[01:45.47]Be wide awake just like your snorting lines
[01:47.98]Or get left mortified like you've just seen the ghost of Jesus walking by
[01:50.48]I never sleep
[01:52.39]When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,
[01:59.74]The times I'm living in I never sleep,
[02:05.39]when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be...
[02:10.39]The times I'm living in lately.
[02:17.57]I brush my teeth every night but still I wake up with a bad mouth
[02:20.53]And the background is my past and my presence will bring it back out
[02:23.09]Deliver the raps how I flow
[02:24.66]I live with the raps now and those that hate me call me Ron
[02:27.29]But they won't Slytherin too easy, believe me I'm Snape minded
[02:29.23]Be within this great time, be on minimum wage,
[02:32.14]life is a prison escape that I'm in
[02:34.14]It's all to do with timing not the label that you sign with
[02:36.93]Then my mates are doing fine but then they never put the time in
[02:39.48]I try to hide my cold side like when I flip my pillows
[02:42.08]Some of the the songs I write are real
[02:43.08]because the chart is filled with si-lo-con
[02:44.74]I'm still broke without the money for a Mac Pro,
[02:47.74]living out of three bags no talk About my cash flow
[02:50.59]Opposite of sober cause I never did my homework
[02:53.09]Which has got me on the sofa, no degree but growing older
[02:55.56]I played a fool to catch the wise I will never tell a lie
[02:58.32]Await death, take deep breaths, try to never die.
[03:01.78]Never die.
[03:04.04]2 guys with the same view, keep it tight like screws
[03:06.43]Making metaphors flow and move, like typhoons and tunes
[03:08.84]And if we got our eyes on you, we'll catch you while you snooze,
[03:11.56]Times elapsing while your catching Z's, the masses like to move
[03:14.20]We scan the situation, analyse information,
[03:17.20]and then decide what probably is most Practical to do,
[03:20.02]Driven young gentlemen
[03:21.50]I've hardly changed my bed sheets at all over the last 12 months
[03:23.50]'causeI haven't Slept in them, true!
[03:26.09]I'm coming home, the lights are on, your rights are wrong
[03:28.09]so I'm correcting 'em
[03:29.41]We got the fans all like 'Oh wow it's Devs and Ed'
[03:32.00]what less did you bloody expect From 'em
[03:33.64]In the end sleep deprivation might just be our detriment
[03:36.52]Fighting through writers block from 9 o'clock to 5 o'clock
[03:39.52]and no way will I ever Waste a second of the time I got,
[03:41.56]I keep my pupils engaged,
[03:43.21]Like a classroom in holy matrimony but I'm only trying to stay awake.
[03:46.24]I never sleep
[03:48.40]When trouble steals thoughts from my restless mind for free, it could be,
[03:54.37]The times I'm living in I never sleep,
[03:58.37]when trouble steals thoughts from my restless Mind for free, it could be...
[04:28.41]The times I'm living in lately.
