Lyrics

[Sample] You learned how to fly, but where can you fly without me? [T.O.M.C.] We cry coward’s laments, but we’re proud of the tune/ The caged birds sing, we free ones just croon/ Wonder what the others up to, “why don’t you come through?”/ Feed the famished pecking order with a nod and “fuck you”/ Whistle birdsong but if you chirp wrong it’s hard to fly away/ Till my dying day, these bird brains ain’t got nothing nice to say/ I’m just hear to rustle feathers and crack clavicles/ Whack animals try and stack capital, cloud kickings not practical/ Back into a corner, looking for a course of, action/ Beak twitchin, beat hittin, nothing more than passion Dull the pain of absence with absinthe/ Drop the kick and add synth, how many hits you had since?/ You spazzed out, flew down south, whatchu make of it?/ You keep on talking spit I'll keep on shaping ship/ Blazing spliffs, breaking and taking shit for for free/ Escaping with those same wings you flew away from me/ [2x] Fly and try to find some peace of mind Only to be mourned by those you leave behind Keep an eye open, dope to taste escape Feel claustrophobic, the old shit fades away Safe to say, you’ll never float with the flock/ Too many wakkas in this roster who can’t cope with your spot/ Misfit with a wishlist, just wanted to ascend/ Askin can I kick it? Then wants to make amends/ Fingers strain against themselves in an effort to catch air/ Keep change in your pocket can’t wish with cab fair/ We all try to be fly, if you sing then you’ll be captured/ Mine escaped in the dead of night i'm still tryna find that blackbird/ [2x] Fly and try to find some peace of mind Only to be mourned by those you leave behind Keep an eye open, dope to taste escape Feel claustrophobic, the old shit fades away credits from The Nadir EP, released 29 October 2011
