Nightingale Lyrics

From here on out, this is a salvage operation

Captain on deck

Interrupted mid-sentence by some non-diagetic dialogue

Cue the metal detectorists

At least they shouldn't have to scavenge far

No horizons left

Just the distant screeching of tires where the raptors bark

After dark digging up the fossils in Barrasic Park

Dust off the sediment trace

Diamonds in the mud with the contaminated medical waste

I seen 'em develop a taste

Rob Rauschenberg

Nothing but negative space

Tories tore it down

Left us a sheg in its place

Nightingale

This way no-one sings to the polis

They just say "no comment" and spend a night in jail

Few succeeded

Most tried and failed

I told 'em "hold on like a harpoonist grappling a pilot whale"

That's what life entails

Shit smells like fertiliser

Crush it up

The powder's pearly myca

Jakies mixing turpentine and turnip cider

Unsatisfied, I'm trynna switch network provider

Find which angles best

Take a random guess

Learn how to handle stress by growing up in a pterodactyl nest

Been running so long, can't let my ankles rest

Unravelling still, tugging at threads in a tangled mess

Pure Bacchanalianism

I looked a bit deeper and saw suhhin' alien in 'em

Either way couldn't make a decision

Split personality, on the spectrum, moving wave in a prism

(Geddit?) No Horizons

All industrial chimneys punctuated by floating islands

Not worth vocalising

Ragin'

Who broke the silence?

Fuck picking up the pieces

Let it all sink below the sirens

Why make it personal?

Captain on deck

What an absolute wreck

How's the view from your private submersible?

Fair play the comedic timing was surgical

Sucked all the oxygen out of the room in an instant, might just be terminal

Washed up and the vultures ate 'em

That's the natural order

No insult was taken

Hard times don't entertain uncultured pagans

Left the blade in my shoulder and put the mate back in ultimatum
