Testo Buttons - Josh Pyke
Testo della canzone Buttons (Josh Pyke), tratta dall'album Memories & Dust
In my mind not enough birds have died
In the shadow of this once custom
And I'm not unwell, but I'm ill at ease
With all the buttons still left to sew
Through needles eyes see me sharper than I see myself
So you should stitch me in to stop me from bleeding
And education can be fickle I think
Sometimes the more you learn the more
You lose the sense of what you think you know
About the buttons still left to sew
And I'm outside myself more and more these days
So you should stitch my skin to stop me from bleeding
All over this fresh song and I
Acknowledge all the corners and all the freshly painted walls
That bear no former scars since they're patched up and over now
But I was born of miners and I'm designed to chip away
And tunnel into the dark
But why must it always come down to some unseen contender?
I don't know
When hatchlings all we are just battling the white-washed birds above
Sharks below
Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me
I'd still leave 'em soft-shelled to the beaks of crows
But every now and then a tempest blows
And the veneer I keep becomes unsewn
Will you ever read me well?
I can only assume so
But I am buoyant like a flotsam man
Relegated by the waves to land
They dry me like a brittle bone
Paraded like a polished stone
But why must it always come down to some unseen contender?
I don't know
When hatchlings all we are just battling the white-washed birds above
Sharks below
Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me
I'd still leave 'em soft-shelled to the beaks of crows
But why must it always come down to some unseen contender?
I don't know
When hatchlings all we are just battling the white-washed birds above
Sharks below
Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me
I'd still leave 'em soft-shelled to the beaks of crows
And that's what you ought to know
I've seen them smashed on the reefs below
