Oil Slick
I went looking for a song for you
Something soft and patient
To reflect its 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?
Ive 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 weve grown
There goes a love song drifting out to sea
Id sing along if I could hear over the oil slick
So it came to pass and I came home
With 4 worn out limbs
And not one love song
How predictable this is all youve 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 weve grown
There goes a love song drifting out to sea
Id sing along if I could hear over the oil slick
Over the dark words pissing from my throat
Sounds like an oil slick coating the wings weve grown
There goes a love song drifting out of my reach
Id sing along if I could see past the oil slick,oil slick,oil slick,oil slick
There is light but theres a tunnel
To crawl through
There is love but its misery loves you
Theres still hope so I think well be fine
In these disastrous times,disastrous times
There is light but theres a tunnel
To crawl through
There is love but its misery loves you
Theres still hope so I think well be fine
In these disastrous times,disastrous times
