Fish in a Birdcage - Rule #31 - Calamity lyrics

Artist: Fish in a Birdcage

album: Man-O-War


It's a wave two miles high
Crushing bones while taking lives
It's a freeze you can't escape
It's a haunting memory
Of a grander history
Maybe we weren't meant to see
Clues below the dirt
In secretive buildings
It's a ball and a chain
It's a little company
It's a suit in a cage
With a touch of apathy
It's a shiny brand new way
To lose your reality
It's a giant fault-line, in commonality
I'm beside a mirror of me
That looks the same, with crooked teeth
A different line, of time it seems
Who scraped through the dirt to survive a calamity
It's a wash, a strip of me
A different name, a different scene
With fangs I've never worn before
The expression has changed to one of insanity

It's a calm, far beneath
Turbulence of rapid seas
Taking breaks to pause and breathe
When everyone is frantically
Moving on, changing pace
Never staying in one place, for very long
You don't have to run this race
It's ok to stand aside
Let the world pass you by
Things can change on a dime
You might not prepare in time
For the speed of consequence to plow into your radiant guise
I'm beside a mirror of me
That looks the same, with crooked teeth
A different line of time it seems
Who scraped through the dirt to survive a calamity

I'm beside a mirror of me
That looks the same, with crooked teeth
With fangs I've never worn before
An expression of rage
Channelling an animal
