The Oil Slick Lyrics - Pedestrian Verse - Frightened Rabbit

I went looking for a song for you 

Something soft and patient to reflect its muse 

I took a walk with my brightest thoughts 

But the weather soon turned and they 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 light 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 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 

There is light but there's a tunnel to crawl through 

There is love but its misery loves you 

There's still hope so I think we'll be fine 

In these disasterous times, disasterous times
