Mimicking Birds - Island Shore lyrics
[Mimicking Birds - Island Shore lyrics]
Leaning along the island shore
Preventing solid ground from crumbling
To the river floor
I’m hoping you’ll pull up and
Slip your anchor down
Maybe for many ages just
Decide to hang around
Insideinside me they sat on volcanoes
Spewing red from it's vents
And from many millennia ago
When completely dormant
I’m hoping you’ll notice and
Shift your comprehensions
Maybe move with more urgency or energy
With your sense of direction
Aheadahead of me
Is a grey nebula rolling off balls of lint
Into the infinite sediment-forged
Fields toward stories of star detriment
I'm wondering if you’ll be up there
Still with your anchor down
For many more ages just decide to hang around
I guess the mass is just a bit tricky
But even the universe comes round and round
Well time is a spotlight that was somehow
Not decided whether it even matters now
Cuz’ my heart beats faster than
Your heart beats faster
As it gets sucked back into the ground
Well it’s not like we’re
Chugging each other’s shit-can
Closed in this drain we circle down
Cuz’ we settin' the trap and took two steps
Back and with our own bait anyhow
Yeah, you didn’t like the
World getting beat on
The ass in the final fucking round
Time is a spotlight and it’s pointed in
The wrong direction right about now
Oh, the heart beats faster yes
The heart beats faster now
The finger comes around
