Buttons Lyrics - Artist : Josh Pyke
In my mind not enough birds have died
In the shadow of this once cast stone 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 a 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 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 whitewash Birds above, sharks below Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows But every now and then a tempest blows And the veneer I keep it comes unsewn But will you ever read me well I can only assume so 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 Why must it always come down to some unseen contender? I don't know When hatchlings all we are, just battling the whitewash Birds above, sharks below Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows So why must it always come down to some unseen contender? I don't know When hatchlings all we are, just battling the whitewash Birds above, sharks below Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows And that's what you ought to know I'd see them smashed on the reefs below |
