Relax
Don't tell me to
Relax
First ask me for the facts
Relax, relax, relax
I'm no gonnae tax your last tab, relax
Gonnae no just, gie it a stab, relax
You're driving me .... mad, relax
She's been worrying too much lately
Trying not to take it out on her baby
All she wanted to be was stable
Be she wisnae able to relax
Relax, relax, relax
Are you able to?
Are you able to?
Are you able to?
Relax, relax, relax
Relax, relax, relax
Relax, relax, relax
Relax, relax, relax
Are you able to relax?
Have you seen the animal tracks?
Haunted by pictures of your past
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
Zoom zoom zoom zoom
Are you able to relax?
Have you seen the animal tracks?
Haunted by pictures of your past
Hunted to extinction at last
Are you able to relax?
Have you seen the animal tracks?
Haunted by pictures of your past
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
Hunted to extinction at last
No no-one remains
No no-one to know the names
No no-one remains
No no-one to know the names
No no-one remains
No no-one to know the names
No no-one to know the names
No no, no no
I'm a survivor of abuse by a mentor
A teacher who told me I was meant to be a writer
So even this cathartic space
Is infected with his trace
I face him every time I write a line
Or read a book
Or look back at the path that I took
What I studied, where I went, my choice of friends,
What I used to think was cool
He moulded me and broke me and I know so now I'm free to heal
But how?
Oh we're sending him to Saughton, we're sending him down
Sending him to Saughton, sending him down
Statistically very unlikely to happen
Statistically very unlikely to happen
Statistically pretty impossible to happen
Only 1.5 measly % make it to f***kin court in the end
Relax relax relax
Relax
Don't tell me to
Relax
First ask me for the facts
Relax, relax, relax
relax, relax, relax....
