Enter Shikari - Myopia lyrics

Drip, drip, drop, bit by bit
It's the dulcet sound of the glacial melt
Accompanied by the Beluga
Singing about the hand they've been dealt
The Emperor and the Arctic
Fox listen intently

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of
What is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune
"I'm beginning to get glimpses of
What is called real life"
" (Yes, they're) Lost in myopia
(Yes, they're) Lost in myopia"

Surrounded by ostriches with mouths
Full of sand their teeth grind the grains
But their faces don't contort
Perplexed, I am unable to
Breathe in their skin
We are all vertebrates
But where is their backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of
What is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

Deprived is the polar bear
Grasping at straws
To safeguard dividends they
Depend on disbelief
Perplexed, I am unable to
Breathe in their skin
We are all vertebrates
But where is their backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of
What is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune
"I'm beginning to get glimpses of
What is called real life"
He says, meaning misfortune

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet
They hear him scream

"They're living in denial (Of science)
They're happy to defile (Silence)
Yeah, they're living in denial (Of science)
They're happy to defile (Silence) "
