Kill the Unicorn

from Emerald AD 2021 by Emerald

/

lyrics

Idol, icon, talisman?
You need to fill a void
Hitch up to the caravan
Paging Dr Freud…

Opalescent memories
Delusion once rejoiced
We will not be frenemies
Can you hear my voice ?

Cuz if I could kill the unicorn
Stab it with its magic horn
I would kill the unicorn away

Shelter from impurity
Marketing a ploy
Sense of false security
A fable to destroy

Cuddly rainbows hug the brain
Floating on your cloud
Hear a cold brutality
Some won’t say out loud

But if I could kill the unicorn
Make it wish that it had never been born
Trust me, I would kill the unicorn today

Solo

Technicolor princesses
Riding through your dreams
Feeding hungry businesses
Cashing in moonbeams

Anti-social media
Losing track of time
Latched onto your fairytale
Kalaidoscopic crime

Not if I can kill the unicorn
Poison it with tainted corn
Time has come to kill the unicorn today

And that’s just what it deserved
For getting on my nerves
Didn’t you see it coming?

For I long to be released
From the Fairytale Nightmare Beast
Goddamn unicorns….

Solo

Come along and kill the unicorn
Rid the world of the satan spawn
Everybody kill the unicorn with me
