johnny sebastian - hypothermia (wrong notes) lyrics

Loading...

swordfish engulfed in me
winter’s coming
stuck in the arctic ocean
now my bloods abundant
rushing
waxing poetic in vaudeville
feeling prey to the predator
broadbills

now my appendages freeze over first
the pipe burst
disperse, no water
no words
blank verse
with these hands
i fear beauty will deteriorate
with these hands
i fear i hold so tight
it breaks
with these hands
i can barely play my bass
how will i play father then?

i write ghazals for the mother hen
i father them

and it’s been said
you gotta play a wrong note
to find the proper key
kissing in the canopy
had the intrusive band
and i’m comin in
on the and of iii
all the wrong sharps
no frets
fret the fantasy

what a beautiful crowd
talk into the mic
too loud with my mouth
my feet
stuck in the muck of the ground
i freeze like this
key’s white and black
play them like so

but it’s only wrong notes
only god knows
it’s been wonderful
but ever cumbersome
i sway the orchestra
but i can’t compose

holes
in my vision
i’ve shot in the dark
can’t tell you
where one ends
and the ditches star

in this cycle
i’m the third in my line
and i’ll learn what the fourth
has to learn in my time

when he’s born he’ll cry
just as i did
and his legs
will shake
on the new ground
just as mine did
maybe with wetter eyelids
take my baby
i won’t die
just move to a better island

hypothermia
get the cold facts
before you get in the water
