The Egyptian Plover

from I Don’t Belong Here Anymore by Goodbye Fairground

lyrics

Sometimes I want to walk to the middle of a frozen lake, lay down and wait for spring. And then I think again and realize I'm not dressed for swimming. It's weird how seriously we take ourselves and how little we really matter. It's weird how we expect others to put up with us while we can barely stand ourselves. I'm like a fish that has spent it's whole life in a fishbowl and now aims straight to smash some glass. One thought remaining: "I want to break free even if it destroys me completely“. The mob is raging. They've all placed their bets. They're yelling: "we are here to see some blood!“ Someone living in a glasshouse shouldn't throw bricks but I'll give the people what they want. Hold your breath a little longer please. I may or may not reveal a secret tonight. Either way I'll make you gasp for air.
