The Oil Slick

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] There is light but there's a tunnel to crawl through There is love but it's misery loves you There's still hope so i think we'll be fine In these disastrous times, disastrous times [x2]
