Everything Everything - Tin (The Manhole) Lyrics

Everything Everything – Tin (The Manhole) Lyrics

I’ll be the fox by the road I am, enormous and evolved. A predatory mass, in the dark I am unseen
Me dripping oil from my tail and me, eyes are through the fumes; yellow as the arc of imagined LEDs

I leave a path in the snow little, rainbow diesel paws, I devour the smoke that erupts from all exhaust
I make a dash for the median, there’s a banshee searing past, everything is light and it’s noise and I reach the grass

My eyes are wide and my teeth dropping, straight out of my skull, they clatter on the road anatomically displayed
I am as lithe as a vine as I, whisper up the verge, I am almost up to the shoulders of a horse

Little sea anemone, pool of rocks, why’d you see, an enemy I cannot? Could there be, a more heavenly artifact? As pure as that?

I sleep a while in the dark of a, warehouse by the sea, I am now as giant as the sun I used to love
My limbs are shoots springing forth I am, impossible and black, and I can feel the gravity rushing into me

I feel a pull on my fur and a, hundred tiny hands, I can feel the men and the women clamber on
They will embrace me tonight as a, a father and a son

I will carry homo-sapiens through the night

I can not imagine the things they did to you

I can not imagine the way it feels for you

I can feel the gravity rushing into me

I am but a hole in the fabric of the scene

I was but a drop in the ocean all along

[Everything Everything – Tin (The Manhole) Lyrics]
