Absofacto - Fish Eyes Lyrics
I feel the same as the very first day I came
And I hang my head in shame to think of how it came to this
Those ancient rules they got written in the glowing pools
That my greatest granddad pulled his wretched body outta
A long time ago
Only if your gills suck fern exhaust
Only if you grow two hearts
Pumping out red and blue through
The causeways and the avenues
Some film got lifted from the back of a cargo bay
Smuggled up to penthouse A of a 13 story nest
The landlord cranked all night and projected future woes
Out two west-facing windows, kept his ears to the north and south
They're guiding you back
To a glowing pool where your fish eyes work
They're guiding you back
The foundation cracked and the birds all left the nest
Looking out for second best 'cause it's only July
Someone got crushed and her legs curled into candy canes
But she didn't feel a spot of pain she'd lost some limbs before
A long time ago
A tenant below suffocated just a little
Yes, a tenant below poured an extra glass
A tenant below cracked the spine of a feng shui guide
My supper crashed to the floor
As fish eyes dragged herself
Back to the glowing pool
My greatest granddad said
I'll see you soon
Back in the glowing pool
A tenant below started boiling some water
Yes, a tenant below rang a sympathetic ear
A tenant below put a magnet in a pillowcase
Pumping out red and blue
Through the causeways and avenues
Kept his ears to the north and south
They're guiding you back
To a glowing pool where your fish eyes work
They're guiding you back

God I wish you'd come to Houston. I've turned so many (well, 4) of my friends onto you and they all think you are fantastic.

Sailor eyes
On my tongue
Who is above you?
Oh, I don't know
Fill me with
your breath again
Rebuild me again.
Am I down in the river bed this time?
Picking fish heads and eating out their eyes?
Am I down in the dust?
So am I done?
Or is my body
Breaking up with me?
Am I down in the river bed this time?
Picking fish heads and eating out their eyes?
Am I down in the dust?
Am I down in the river bed this time?
Picking fish heads and eating out their eyes?
Am I down in the dust?
i think its "save the rest" on my tongue
@Megs rose it's definitely sailor eyes, you can hear the "lor" in sailor if you pay attention.
Thank you very much for coming in Zabok. We would have so much more interesting time if bands with original themes, like you, would come more often.
This is the most perfect bit of guitar I've heard for so long and the lyrics are haunting.
Can i have the lyrics?
My question is: Why aren't YOU on everyone's radio, instead of the mindless, talentless garbage thats on nowadays? Pure, raw, beautiful talent! Im soooo glad I found you via Kink live Skype YT channel!
+Haley Heynderickx you are most most welcome!
we play her on our radio show!
haha nice slide into the promo
The BEST!
@The Drew and Mark Show pls send yr details! Cheers Rob
Do you listen to Marika Hackman? If not, I think you'd like her!
first time listeninf this is amazing!
I listen to you since you were playing cover songs, And now I am very glad to hear your own songs, but to be honest, I expected more of folk. Sorry for my english, i'm from mérida, méxico. ¡Saludos!
You should collaborate with some electronic (chill step/edm/Dubstep/etc) beat makers, keep up the good work!
chekoisowned why should she ruin the elegance with drum beat and synth? I listen to electronic music, but I hope she will remain so clear and delicate.. and I add, without a band she is even better..
Incredible songwriting, recording, everything. So glad I subscribed to you ages ago. Every time you upload something I freak out.
Fantastic! Don't ever stop! I sense a bit of bright eyes. Will vinyl be available for the ep?
+Reuben Morales Thank you! We are considering vinyl but it looks like that will be more doable with a full length.
been listening to you for a few years now so happy for the album now
You have such a beautiful voice...so hypnotising, calming. Thank you for sharing :) being a musician since I was a small child I've learned to love music more than I love food. And this just inspired me soo much. Whatever you do, keep posting!
This is what I've been looking for in a long while! Such a brilliant artist.
Constant quality
Where will we be able to buy it from?
+Anglerte you can find it on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/fish-eyes-single/id1067448263 or On Bandcamp haleyheynderickx.bandcamp.com
