Dessa - Warsaw Lyrics






A wick with no candle
A wheel with no axle
I ride with no saddle, no lift
Then I'm dragging the kite
A blade with no handle
A brick for your window
I'm fine but I'm single
A dime and I'm the same on both sides

You're a stone-cold killer, you say
But you're looking like a part-time criminal
Waive the charade
Man, you lay it on thick
It's a dive bar, save the game
You drink and you sit
Easy to please
But hard to impress
I'm in a mood, new shoes, and a bulletproof dress
Sugar on the rim and a shot of mescal
Man, its murder in the morning
But its good for morale
Can you mortar more
Looks like you're bricking with both hands
Get the spirit level
Or the skeleton won't stand
Fuck the plan, man
I'm tryna call an audible
Probable lost cause
But I got a thing for long shots
Yes, yes, naysayers got the wrong job
Best bet when you think they got the wrong odds
And I've done some living in a glass house
High note blew the motherfucking walls off

And I sleep
With both eyes open
Standing up
Alone and holding
Off the rust
And I'm still living by my maiden name
The name I came with
The name I made
And I'm bare-faced at your masquerade
Filled a flask up before I came
Because night falls
We all wanna hear that fight song
Car running like a nylon
Brights on
Times right but the clocks wrong
Never set it, never settle in a time zone
Take what I need with me
Pray for rain but brace for whiskey
Something in the tank, money in the bank
Callin it a win we
Give a little thanks, give a little back
Busy with the grand plan
Take one last look
Left the bandwagon
For a banned book
To break out you gotta give up the chase
To make love you gotta take off the brace
And we all leave it feeling half done
Best you can do is just put a hand up
Hope grace and good works in the end add up
Find out when the pendulum hangs plumb

  1. J.... J....

    I saw in the endscreen in spiderman into the spidey verse

  2. G.... H....

    Word! Love her lyrical content.

  3. x.... f....

    lyrically this song is great even though it doesn't talk about Warsaw, Poland literally or metaphorically. But that production is really poor. It's some some dubstep crossed with some trance, hip-hop beats...its a mess.

    x.... f....

    I, on the other hand, think it's great

  4. T.... T....

    Um... this lyric video defeats it's own purpose. Few can follow the lyrics like this.

  5. D.... W....

    just. the. best.

  6. B.... ....

    that lyrics... damn...

  7. M.... ....

    Wow, it's been years since I last saw WordArt, but he's gotten jacked.

    She's the definition of talent.

  10. A.... ....

    Loved the song but the way that the lyrics were presented in the video was just... no...

    A.... ....

    Yeah my eyes hurt trying to follow it

    A.... ....

    Arins And I really loved it. Especially with her writing background, I loved all the different fonts. things can be so subjective! Video or not she is the baddest though

  11. a.... ....

    Greetings from Warsaw!

    a.... ....

    It's not a song about a city of warsaw...

  12. E.... C....

    Listened to this song 21 freaking times. know al the lyrics. Still just got what she actually talking about lol. :/

  13. E.... C....

    "I've done some living in a glass house, high note blew the motherfucking walls off..."

    E.... C....

  14. w.... ....

    dessa, you are so dope

  15. L.... W....

    spelled axle wrong.

  16. K.... ....

    Um. Yes!

  17. l.... ....

  18. s.... h....

    this is so good. thank you

  19. m.... f....

    Dessa....the girl with a crooked smile and straight ass flow.

    She's a dime but the same on both sides

  20. S.... J....

    So many layers and allusions and the sentiment remains consistent somehow. Love it. This song has a still in the game past victory feel to it. Sometimes.

  21. M.... ....

    Right? That's exactly it

  22. R.... ....

    I am in romantic love with Dessa's music.

  23. M.... R....

    Everything she does is just magic.

  24. S.... C....

    great video! well done

  25. A.... R....

    Dessa is amazing

  26. R.... ....

    Not sure what the point of this comment is seeing as I see the exact same one on basically every new hip-hop, rap or whatever you want to call it video.

    Dessa is Dessa, she's on her own level and that level probably looks like a long road where she has traveled far but she got room to move onward still, should she want to. That's where I see her at at least.

  27. f.... ....

    love it, it's got a Trent Reznor feel to it. Headed to see Dessa the end of July in Denver, stoked!

  28. d.... m....

    Missed u in stl. Now im sad. Come back through.

  29. C.... B....

    Getting pretty fucking jacked for Parts of Speech right bout now

  30. A.... R....

    Is amazing music

  31. A.... R....

    Hi dad love u this Ia

  32. A.... B....

    This right here is currently my favorite thing on YouTube.

  33. d.... ....

    Plain. Heavy.

  34. b.... ....

    "It's written on my face You can see it when I close my eyes And sing a Dessa Darling line The realest thing I never wrote "

  35. b.... ....

    "Its written on my face You can see it when I close my eyes Realest thi

  36. T.... A....

    want this album i do.

  37. f.... ....

    Can't wait to see this and many other masterpieces live again...Catch you in Brooklyn!!!

  38. D.... ....

    Holy shit.

  39. I.... I....

    Damn....

  40. T.... ....

    A friend of mine thought dessa was a gimmick girl in a conscious hip hop group. Music and wordplay like this a gimmick?? Not likely. Doomtree and Dessa breaking molds and putting misconceptions to rest once again.

  41. A.... ....

    See, you can use imagery that conveys meaning opposed to relying on catch phrases, wake up America.

  42. A.... ....

    Dessa is on another level of lyricism

  43. S.... ....

    so fucking brilliant!

  44. D.... ....

    ...when the piano hits

  45. T.... R....

    Every damn song I hear by Dessa is so different. I'm stoked for this album.

  46. D.... ....

    Damn i just love Dessa

  47. b.... ....

    im diggin it

  48. J.... ....

    Dessa does the "No dance" in my dreams
