Oberon Pink - LESSONS

It crept up on me
And it sat in my chair
Asking me questions
That I can't bear
What if I'm actually
Just too scared?
What if I don't wake up
From the nightmare?
Never despair
Still time to spare
But they do not care about you
Capital letters crossing the breast
Are you learning your lesson?
Did they get you too?
I'm not making a fool out of you
You just split open too soon
I really have nothing left here to prove
What do I have that's impressive to lose?
So I pressure the wound
Confessing the mood
And undressing the bloom
Get to blessing the crude
Leave it on read
Or I'm losing my cool
Get out of my head
And get back in the pool
Yeah
Get back in the pool
Setting it off
Setting it off
Looking for adrenaline hush
You never could touch me
Not at all
Pillows are plush
The covers are warm
What's the rush for us?
Must we cut
Through every little storm?
Swim to the centre
Eye of the mental
If you can enter, my love
Break off the handle, yeah
I know I am meant for this
You can keep me with a kiss
You can leave me with a wish
Only taking what I give
Yeah
Writing a cheque with my skin
Who knows if I'll ever cash that shit in?
But I cannot give in
Shutting your eyes is a sin
And I've been
Taking advice that I don't believe in
We invited them in
Gave them water to drink
And a quarter to think, yeah
Every letter is ink
At the point of a pin
Better breathe in
'Cause the oxygen thin
Lengthen your limbs
Pressure within
You must know that you cannot win
So why do you swim?
Why even dive in?
When you could live
Liminal, pivotal
Living symbol, inimical
Build a pinnacle
Be indivisible, metaphysical
Getting vividly radical
Fuck another hand-to-hand
Needed a hand to hold
Community manifold
Before we grow too old
All of our beats slow
Now we just keep low
And punch in the same code
Yeah, now we just keep low
And punch in the same code
