Everything At Once Lyrics by Hippo Campus
Pressure makes diamonds
You’d draw blood for half the price
I grew up on white Jesus saves
Work hard and it falls in place
Punch that clock til you hit the grave
Man, it’s bruised knuckles baby, it’s been draining your life
They made out like a bandit while you’re just getting by
I didn’t say it’d be easy, well just give it try
You gotta lay down sometimes
Be patient sometimes and feel everything at once
Feel everything at once yeah
Ripping up sunflowers in the garden
Making room for plants that don’t need water
Playing god again, why couldn’t I save a dear friend
From going out in a hurricane of lightning?
Here it goes again, bruised knuckles baby, it’s been draining your life
They made out like a bandit while you’re just getting by
I didn’t say it’d be easy, well just give it a try
You gotta lay down sometimes
Be patient sometimes and feel everything at once
Feel everything at once yeah
Feel everything at once yeah
No matter how much gas you pump out
Can’t feed all these machines
You put in, put in, put in, put in, but it never comes back for free
And it’s making no sense with karma creeping
Bad things come in threes, and it weighs on me
Like a tragedy, but I know there’s something there
Always bruised knuckles baby, it’s been wasting your time
They made out like a bandit while you’re just getting by
I didn’t say it’d be easy, well just give it try
You gotta lay down sometimes
Be patient sometimes and feel everything at once
Feel everything at once yeah
Feel everything at once
Feel everything at once
Feel everything at once
Feel everything at once, at once
(Lighting up a pipe dream
New year’s pixie dust got even
Chasing a white lighter fiend
Flame-throwing an angel’s wings again…)
