Lyrics Albatross - Kevin Devine

Albatross

I think my brain is broken
Can’t push my point across
If I stay unspoken
Don’t lift my albatross
Lord I’m lonely
Lord the luck
Lord I’m never near enough
Growling in the garbage truck
I twist my jaw and offer up
Eat my anger
And my lies
And my terror
And my pride
Folding at the scything light
I tuck my knees and clench my eyes
I think my brain is broken
Can’t push my point across
If I stay unspoken
Don’t lift my albatross
Grow out your constant chaos
Throw fits in semaphore
Pitch your wordless crisis
Just keep your prism pure
When you listen, look alive
Be a mirror
Be a kite
No one needs your spirit guide
Temper tantrum fire sign
I think my brain is broken
Can’t push my point across
If I stay unspoken
Don’t lift my albatross
Strip-search your inhibition
Go get your grave embossed
Weed your rotten wisdom
It won’t turn the future off
Streaming through the cellar walls
Catastrophe!, she caterwauls
Fentanyl, Klonopin
Gately at the beach again
Let’s swim
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Nothing matters anyway
If you’re frightened stay awake
Pick a god and start to pray
Good Ganesha
Shiva’s arms
Jesus Christ in camouflage
If you’re sinking sing along
Nothing’s real so nothing’s wrong
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Nothing matters anyway
If you’re frightened stay awake
Pick a god and start to pray
Good Ganesha
Shiva’s arms
Jesus Christ in camouflage
If you’re sinking sing along
Nothing’s real so nothing’s wrong
Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Nothing matters anyway
If you’re frightened stay awake
Pick a god and start to pray
Good Ganesha
Shiva’s arms
Jesus Christ in camouflage
If you’re sinking sing along
Nothing’s real so nothing’s wrong
I think my brain is broken
Can’t push my point across
If I stay unspoken
Don’t lift my albatross
