Frightened Rabbit - The 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 sh*t I write
How can I talk of light 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 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
