Frightened Rabbit - Oil Slick lyrics

rate me

I went looking for a song for you

Something soft and patient

To reflect its muse

I took a walk with all my brightest thoughts

But the weather soon turned

And they all 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 life 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 4 worn out limbs

And not one love song

How predictable this is all you’ve 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 oil slick

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,oil slick,oil slick,oil slick

There is light but there’s a tunnel

To crawl through

There is love but it’s misery loves you

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

In these disastrous times,disastrous times

There is light but there’s a tunnel

To crawl through

There is love but it’s misery loves you

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

In these disastrous times,disastrous times
