from Languid Motion by Swan Messiah

/

lyrics

Been wasting there too long with nature aside
Where bridges meet swampland and oil meets ocean
Where violence the night on depression will ride
And loneliness feeds on the fuel of slow motion

From far come the dead men with small pockets and brains
Bringing with them diseases of half witted angels
And gloom filters down through the gutters and drains
Lending texture to folklore and fear to old fables

As birds drown in liquid that's thicker than blood
And waves tell of nothing but darkness and danger
The gray mountain rises from famine and flood
The elixir of greed to the life of a stanger

The westerly teases with dust but it's cursed
It brings nothing but grief to the heart of a loner
As night falls upon this great city of thirst
I retreat to the world of my dark mountain coma
