Walking down the street in a city I don’t know
The dotted line leads me, as the autumn winds blow
I know my destination’s a holy place
My lips are feeling dry, so I pick up the pace
No one can stop me now, I’m feeling so alive

I’m feeling like Capone, yeah it’s business, see?
Chicago Outfit style, I think that you’ll agree
No one can stop me now, I’m feeling so alive
Distilled ocean in my mouth, I wanna take a dive
Didn’t realise that I had a burden in my hands
A heavy load that just had to give in to gravity as planned
Oh, someone stop me please, don’t wanna be alive
Distilled ocean on the street, I’m gonna take a dive
Paradigm released Distilled Ocean on Fri Nov 29 2019.
