Bent Knee Way Too Long Lyrics
Way Too Long by Bent Knee
Oil spill out by the docks
What color were those feathers before?
Oil up to my ankles, sticking
Swallowing tar and I am sinking
Consequences way too much
My capillaries look like big black gloves
I've held this secret for way too long
Rainbows glisten on sand
They lure me in close until I gag
Every inch of skin ripples, twitching
Inhaling toxic gas I'm choking
Glazed by a layer of slick
I'm latched to the hull of a dirty ship
And it's squeezing all the air out of this
Goddamn cave I live in
What color were those feathers before?
Oil up to my ankles, sticking
Swallowing tar and I am sinking
Consequences way too much
My capillaries look like big black gloves
I've held this secret for way too long
Rainbows glisten on sand
They lure me in close until I gag
Every inch of skin ripples, twitching
Inhaling toxic gas I'm choking
Glazed by a layer of slick
I'm latched to the hull of a dirty ship
And it's squeezing all the air out of this
Goddamn cave I live in
