The Oil Slick |
| I went looking for a song for you |
| Something soft and patient to reflect it’s muse |
| I took a walk with all my brightest thoughts |
| But the weather soon turned and they all ran off |
| Took to the ocean in a boat this time |
| Only an idiot would swim through the shit I write |
| How can I talk of life and warmth? |
| I’ve got a voice like a gutter in a toxic storm |
| All the dark words pouring from my throat |
| Sound like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown |
| There goes a love song drifting out to sea |
| I’d sing along if I could hear over the oil slick |
| So it came to pass and I came home |
| With four worn out limbs and not one love song |
| How predictable this is all you’ve got |
| Yet another selfish signpost to my ruin of faults |
| All the dark words pouring from my throat |
| Sound like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown |
| There goes a love song drifting out to sea |
| I’d sing along if I could hear |
| Over the dark words pissing from my throat |
| Sounds like an oil slick coating the wings we’ve grown |
| There goes a love song drifting out of my reach |
| I’d sing along if I could see past the oil slick |
| The oil slick |
| The oil slick |
| The oil slick |
| There is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through |
| There is love but its misery loves you |
| There’s still hope so I think we’ll be fine |
| In these disastrous times, disastrous times |
| There is light but there’s a tunnel to crawl through |
| There is love but its misery loves you |
| Still got hope, so I think we’ll be fine |
| In these disastrous times, disastrous times |
