Oblaat
words & music : hide
the oblaat in my eyes
are clung tight and won't come off
but you pretend to not notice at all
once you start you never stop
but without this guy i'm in trouble
nothing comes out right
everything looks like a monster[1] justice and sympathy[2]
there are demons everywhere in the world you encounter[3]
blind bird cage so what?
is so easy way
Within a monochrome silver and gold weir
we're strangled and hidden in
a delusion of me and you
we relate to eachother in an antibacterial room
never mind my firneds
if you walk bear footed, a stone will stab you
thats right make it rough make me high
never mind my friends
if you dont use an umbrella on a rainy day you'll bet soaked
that's all there is to it, the only thing to do is laugh
blind bird cage
its so easy way
this morning my eyeball oblaat was
holding its thin head up high
wondering what kind of dream to show me
becoming its form from a shell
never mind my friends
its better than pretending you didnt see anything
open your eyes and see nothing
never mind my friends
be a laidback dragonfly and fly out the window
you let yoruself agree to everyone else deep and shallow
wiped out hahaha
never mind my friends
let's talk to eachother in a mystery language
there's a middle finger on every laughin corner[4]
never mind my friends
if you dont use an umbrella on a rainy day you'll bet soaked
that's all there is to it, the only thing to do is laugh
take it easy dear my friends
