“Ekpyrosis” is the title tarck on MISSY’s EP, “Ekpyrosis”, and is about being a soulmate to a cynic, who needs to let their concepts be destroyed & prepare themselves for the new path.

[Verse 1]
Hellfire couldn't pry you from my side
You're the superglued thorn of my life
Beads of sweat like a pearl crown
Wide-eyed, waiting for the fall down
I like the bittersweet pretending
Sticking plaster, hearts on a blender
Solid effort, but the farce couldn't mend it
And I know you didn't ask, but I meant it
[Pre-Chorus]
This is the end of us
Red robes on, cleanse myself in fire
Ekpyrosis smile
(Ekpyrosis, ekpyrosis)
[Chorus]
I jump into the inferno, then flee
I see that you're a love lost, I'll leave
No more of your occult disbelief
Ekpyrosis
[Post-Chorus]
(I see that you're a ekpyrosis)
(No more of your ekpyrosis)
(Ekpyrosis)
[Verse 2]
Holy water couldn't drown out the fear
The placebo just enough to repair
Jolting my pulse by fifty to a hundred hertz
Keeping my sanity revived in bursts
I love the bittersweet remembering
Get me out, EMT for a bandage
Always said how hard you tried at pretending
And it nearly took it all just to end it
[Pre-Chorus]
This is the end of us
Red robes on, cleanse myself in fire
Ekpyrosis smile
[Chorus]
I jump into the inferno, then flee
I see that you're a love lost, I'll leave
No more of your occult disbelief
Ekpyrosis
[Outro]
I jump into the inferno, then flee
I see that you're a love lost, I'll leave
No more of your occult disbelief
Ekpyrosis
