Oberon Pink - ACROBATS

I know you like me where I am
But you're not keeping me in place
If you recognise my pain
Why not speak aloud its name?
Nothing really changed
I just caught you in the act
An acrobat inside those chains
You're hoping I'm the same
But it's been too long, and I'm too lucid
No sugar cube, and no dilution
No fire fluid, I fly through it
Uprooted, no excuses
No knots loose, I got one route
From this tower, under this one roof
Down dive in the deep blue
I might see you if I sweep through
Yeah, I might see you if I sweep through
Yeah
We sheltered ourselves
When we should've been attacking
We should've rebelled
When they shot them in the back the first time
Or tenth or hundredth time
But with the hunger rumbling for pound signs
We are dead with the coins in our eyes
Picking up anything spilled from the sack
While we squirrel away at the top of the tower
Ducking all flack, 'cause we can
Call off the dogs ripping at their throats, man
How do you feel no shame?
The shit's backwards
Pull it apart from inside
We are actors
From the west coast to white coast
Our hearts are black
But we're trained as acrobats
No distractions, fuck diplomatic
We're generations too late
To stay stuck with the static
Chained skeletons still in the attic
It's way past time to get drastic
