Silver Trembling Hands f/ Himself, Toast, w/ The Flaming Lips

from The Facelift 2: Artofficial Attributes by Anacron

/

about

Everyone knows a girl that retreats from reality into substance abuse on a regular basis; and surprisingly, that girl is always the only one that doesn't know she's that girl. Anacron got with long-time comrade Himself, and new school chick-rap group Toast to talk about that broad over an experimental track by The Flaming Lips.

lyrics

VON COOKIE
So high it's a beautiful mess
smiles and dances, wipes her hands on her dress
Like falling in love for the very first time
addicting and it hurts, but she keeps doing lines
Smoking, drinking, popping, whatever clears the pain
to fly above reality, so she forgets her name
The kind of girl who said she's only happy when it rains
a sad story, but she's the only one to blame

HIMSELF
I'm left leaving voicemails when you high, when you throwed,
when you pill-poppin, pill-poppin on the dancefloor
You don't stop, get it, get it, Anna Nicole and Kim Mathers with it
You hit it and you sip it, never know where your night is ending
It could be tonight, right here on the dancefloor
I'm calling to show my concern, I can't show no more
I'm going to leave it up to your man to stress
that's why we've always only been BFF's

ERIKA B
Escape from reality, perpetuate sanity
on a bed of feathered pillows, fuck the world, fuck vanity
Smeared make-up down her cheek, fuck the breakup it ain't me
So tired of the bullshit, won't wake up, I can't sleep
Wiped the sweat from her palms on the sheets, hit the bong
Empty baggies on the desk, chain-smoking cigarettes
Hair drenched in the stench from the smoke
as she ashes on her clothes time passes, she knows that she's alone

ANACRON
She escapes from her reality
distracted by the fact that happiness is just a fallacy
She runs from everything she needs to face
placed into a space where she can fit in while she's being fake
She does things that would normally make her turn up her nose
She gets a little too comfortable and drifts lazily away from her goals and I know
that as soon as her high is fading and she's coming down
she's thinking about me and she's wishing I was still around

When she's high
