Slinky

(album: Man Alive! - 2020)

See, I have not seen
Another person for days
You're the only one
Who's held my gaze
And everyone must have left
I used to walk through the strange cold depths
Of the crane's cold stretch
That haven't seen the face

I dreamt I was here before
Above wet pavements
Across deep blue skies she would soar
Leaving her engravement
And everything sunk its stress
But for my drunken mess
And if the pain compress
Then it's something less to explain

I felt this fear before
I miss my best ailment
Bruising on my right side feels so
With thoughts of her displacement
And if there was nothing left
But for this strange deep rest
And the screams from my chest
Well, this heart's got no escape

And it all falls back into place
The prisoner's skull
The prisoner's brains
Were beat to a pulp
The dreams told me
I dreamt I was here before
I dreamt I was here before
A cloudy view

I dreamt I was here before
I dreamt I was here before
Must have dreamt I was here before
I dreamt I was here before
