Frightened Rabbit - The Oil Slick lyrics
[Frightened Rabbit - The Oil Slick lyrics]
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 it's 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 it's misery loves you
Still got hope, so I think we'll be fine
In these disastrous times, disastrous times
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 it's 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 it's misery loves you
Still got hope, so I think we'll be fine
In these disastrous times, disastrous times
