Gull Lyrics

A mammoth gull of sepia

A slab of tide in afternoon

The rain is coming up, not down

While birds maintain their stroll

I feel some synesthesia

Though nature always makes us swoon

Oppressed it is, and by the town

But still it heals the soul

Speaking of my common theme, your soul appears before my eyes

Waves are your divinity, the gulls are your command

You float along, as in my dream, and your spirit flies

Strength beyond infinity, it reaches every land

You'll never know and never care

Futility is nothing new

And though it sounds like a complaint

I know it's best this way

The state of things is more than fair

I must accept that which is true

And though the thought might make me faint

I keep my soul at bay

Speaking of my common theme, your soul appears before my eyes

Waves are your divinity, the gulls are your command

You float along, as in my dream, and your spirit flies

Strength beyond infinity, it reaches every land

I speak no hyperbolic words

I'm earnest if I'm nothing more

Intense, perhaps, but safe, at least

My life is yours at will

I feed these melancholic birds

But they've a chance to write a score

My crumbs may not compose a feast

But you can take your fill

Speaking of my common theme, your soul appears before my eyes

Waves are your divinity, the gulls are your command

You float along, as in my dream, and your spirit flies

Strength beyond infinity, it reaches every land

But looking back upon debris of years ago

It's clear to me I was the gull, just picking at your scraps

And loneliness became the breeze that I would blow

Never lifting up, only keeping down

Speaking of my common theme, the wind appears to sting my eyes

There is no divinity, the gulls have left the land

They float along, above the sea, and their spirit flies

I have lost infinity and cannot reach the sand
