lyrics

I’m determined to let you know of ‘He’ who signs his name
With fish . Salt lips impress a signature but the ink it never sticks.
This atmosphere is hard on gills, in fame quill found an early death
Submerged beneath a sea of air, Hey Fish! You trying to find your Breath? Fish carcass cast into the past, hold still for a passing selfie Snap. Halitosis grows with lies about bootstraps. Impact, disdain
Refrain, the same, the favoured hook smells of baited traps
And bait debate, let’s make a date and claim domain upon a map 

The image no longer at the source, scratch and sniff lifts the stink of Ink, a picture reeks a thousand words and we get a sense of what you Think. Psychosis grows in droves, we cope, we stay in waves, we need A shrink! The sea, it bleeds, forgets to freeze, I think I need a drink!
Coarser tongues than mine agree that grin has a whiff of shit. We’re Suckered in, you suck and spin, your suckers grin, devout and proud Fuckwit. We fucked the Fish! Your salty lips, they shine malign
And wet with spit. We know you lie, and we don’t mind
It’s when your face splits

It’s an interesting story that he tells
Parallel, so close to the here and now
HELLo Circumstance with Capital HELL
Scant facts, rabid pack, bigots kiss and tell
It’s enticing in the message that he spins
Big grin, think you’re party to his win?
Making a killing, the killing makes the king
Hands up? Bad luck! Underfoot the ice is thin
Feel attractive on the way up on the make
Heart of slate, filth hides behind a gilded gate
Devoted profit, denote the road of endless take
Claim more. Fuck poor. Cashing in on righteous hate

I am talking to you 
But that does not mean 
We are talking
