Eyelashes! - Whiplash Lyrics

It's unclear to me still
Which of our beliefs have the legs for this
You're an obsolete machine
You're an animal
Living on long beyond your niche

There's an ocean
Pouring out of you
And all around your head
Spin the sharply pointed stars
You spin the mornings into afternoon

You waded out past the sea wall
Where the water grows wild again
And the sirens can drown themselves
Out in your ears

You spit out the mercury
That's built up in your mouth
Just by swimming through the world
You develop new organs

Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash

You heard of a living light
Somewhere off the coast
That bathes you in a blue stream
A hundred feet underwater

But if you're not careful now
In your misdirection
The light will freeze the ocean floor
A hundred miles in all directions

They'll find your better body glowing
In the moonlight outside of the city
But it's a place that you'd take if it came to that
The water's warm and your head is swimming

Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash

With the slow passage of the world
You've moved past your moment in time
You stay at home in the fields
You sing your songs of slow sedition

They built a perfect clock in your ticking brain
And you measure the endless hours and minutes
And the senselessness of every sense you ever mentioned
You try to clear your head of the ringing feeling

Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash
Whiplash
