Polyfilla Lyrics – Loyle Carner

Polyfilla Lyrics by Loyle Carner

Trying not to be the man I didn’t want to be
To be the person that you want to see
The night falls, I’m the one you meet
Stopping at the shops and buying something sweet

Yo I was willing and we was able
Put a living on the table
The little image that I cradle
To empathise with the villains in the fable

That we relate to
Because it shapes you
I started doing everything that they do
Visions of a father that would taint you

Yeah, shatter like the glass that I was chained to
Because I made you
Anyone could make you
But it’s your father that could raise you

Only a mother that could save you
We never had enough
Still we make do
Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle

The days that are vital
The place as an idol
Yeah, see the name’s in the title
The days, a disciple

This pain, it was my fault
Yeah, ’cause wide awake
From the chains in the thread
All the pain that could

Stays in your head
Yeah, I understand
Yo, I’m whiling
No man is an island

But you know I’ve been trying
Yeah, but is it good enough?
Yeah, shiver through my hoodie as I pull it up
Cycle through the city

Thinking stupid stuff
Acting like I’m quiet
But I could erupt
And I did

Flashing back when we was kids
I see my father blow his lid
Yeah, I used to say I hate the crib
Hate the doors

Hate the fridge
Hate this f#cking house I live
‘Cause there’s holes in every wall
And now there’s holes in every wall

When it was me
And I’ve been taken for a fool
I hold my son
Yo, I’ve been trying to play it cool

But I’m the villain in the story
The exception to the rule
Did the pressure bussed a pipe, build a diamond?
The anger puts a fella on an island

Yeah, you hear the bang
Feel the silence
But you know I’ve been trying
Yeah, to break the chains and the cycle

The days that are vital
The place as an idol
Yeah, see the name’s in the title
The days, a disciple

This pain, it was my fault
Yeah, ’cause wide awake
From the chains in the thread
All the pain that could

Stays in your head
Yeah, I understand
Yo, I’m whiling
No man is an island

But you know I’ve been
When I was younger yo
I wanted to be famous
Now that I’m older yo

I wish that I was nameless
The world’s aimless
No one gives a f#ck
Time’s of the essence

I was running out of luck
Getting stuck for a couple bucks
Tryna buss a nut
Filling up my plate

But wasn’t filling up your cup
Yo, I say it’s f#cked
They even killed the Wolverine
That was the only father figure that I’d seen

I was lost
Trying to find something to believe
All them aches and the pain
Yeah, from crying on my knees

I was saying please
All this air that I breathe
Weren’t a waste
The glass chin

Staying on my feet
I close my eyes
And I listen to you sleep
Yeah

Find some peace
