lyrics

These days are such a revelation delivered with the sunrise
In isolated ways but there’s
No shortage of aspiring prophets, pulling from the passage
Pushing through the page

I don’t think much about it
Don’t think we’re entitled to the angels or what they say they are
Cause the world is filled with oysters
Ready for the taking you can find your pearl when you need it most of all

Held tight by starlight drifting anchors, hiding under blankets
Borrowing from dreams but the
Oceans of stellar isolation, there is no explanation
Until we write the scenes

And my head is filled with tigers
Laughing at the fables of the rows and rows of devoted souls
But we’re all us silly children
Laughing in the garden, lying in the dreams
Don’t forget them they will hideaway in the way they hideaway

And my head is filled with tigers
Laughing at the fables of the rows and rows of devoted souls
Cause the world is filled with liars
Picking at your pockets licking at the seams
Don’t believe them they will fly away with the sparrows on the wind

But I don’t think much about it
Don’t think we’re entitled to the angels or what they say they are
But the world is filled with oysters
Spread upon my table it reminds me
Of the time before we and the time we have before we get the hammer and nails
We get the hammer and nails…
bye bye bye
