Neon Disciple - Do the Wrong Thing (feat. Keana) Lyrics

Paint it like a Pollack for an audience of no one
Poignant like Picasso when I'm godless in a chorus
Plead the fifth, pulled together pieces of a myth
Casanova complex running deep, and that's it
It's simple, I'm a heathen heaving tons of bricks
Atlas couldn't bear to shrug off the weight of this
Looking kinda smug, discourse swept under the rug
Innocent at first but then I'll get into your guts

It's not love, it's lust
But that might be enough
It's not love, it's lust
For two souls starved from touch
It's not love, it's lust
We called it as such
It's not love, it's lust
For two souls scarred too much

If you find something you must set it free
While it whispers in your ear, "do the right thing"
If you have someone can you let them be
While the voices in your head scream "do the wrong thing"

Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's hazy
Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's crazy

We've awakened this demon's delight
Captured, enraptured in this intimate night
Tell me I'm right
Tell me I'm trite, on the verge of a fight
But we f*ck with no lights
Making sense of our plights
Gotta treat that body right
The temples desecrated all the time
But we're young and in our prime
I'm caught up in a rhyme I can't get out of in time
I'm caught by this line, you gravitate to my side

You say you have an idea, okay I'll bite
Arguing all the time wears us down real fine
No direction in sight and that's fine for a moment
But as the moment passes us by the door is closing
Never heard you beg me to leave it open
So our window of opportunity was stolen
By a desire for a life undressed in the light
We had the time of our lives but maybe you're right
It's time we took a chance to follow these signs
Wherever they may lead like the finish line
But can we actually go forth and find something more
Beyond smashing others hearts across the floor
Is progress something that we can explore
Or do you think betterment is too much a chore
Be honest, do I just want this more? (Do you just want this more?)
And do you ever see us ending this war
It's easier said than done but I'm torn
Anxiety's been the norm since I was born
Your postpartum's been worn and used like a sword
And I wasn't prepared to be the one you aimed toward
I honestly can't tell if you're annoyed or bored (I honestly can't tell if I'm annoyed or bored)
If there's any love left, I haven't been forewarned
I'm sore from the thorns I pull out in hordes
But all I want is to learn to love you more

If you find something you must set it free
When it whispers in your ear, "do the right thing"
If you find someone can you let them be
While the voices in your head scream "do the wrong thing"

Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's hazy
Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's crazy

I'm struggling to make sense out of all of this
My head's been going to some scary places
Doing some shit that's getting harder to quit
Get me outta these DM's before I start some shit
Do we have what it takes to make it through
It's getting harder to hear you over the deluge
Got a lot to lose and doing my best to do it too
What can we do when you can't admit the truth
Know my absence contributed to these blues
Thought if we had money I'd be enough for you
And I was gone a lot trying to prove something to
Everyone who ever said I'm not good for you
I'm sorry I missed the first year of our daughter's life
Cuz I worked early mornings well into the late night
I know it's wasted time that I'll never get back
And I'll never stop kicking my own ass for that
I'm sorry I couldn't get my shit together in time
To give us the wings we needed to fly
If you want to end this I guess I understand why
But I really hope you're willing to give it one more try
Hoping we'll push past onto the other side
Where there is light and life for us to thrive
And something more than sleeping on a bed of knives
Wondering if we'd survive another fight

If you find something you must set it free
When it whispers in your ear, "do the right thing"
If you find someone can you let them be
While the voices in your head scream "do the wrong thing"

Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's hazy
Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's crazy

If you find something you must set it free
When it whispers in your ear, "do the right thing"
If you find someone can you let them be
While the voices in your head scream "do the wrong thing"

Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's hazy
Do the wrong thing
Do the wrong thing, baby
Do the wrong thing
When the right thing's crazy
