Abby Ahmad - Landing Gear lyrics

I smell the sick stink Of a future forlorn Hold your breath, kids Greed is airborne With their lips sealed tighter And the handshakes firmer These hecklers have a history Of getting away with murmurs Everyone's now at attention Since a nation's been derailed Divided we stand United we failed Some are fanning the frenzy Most have just said f** it, This week's Category Five Will be next week's drop in the bucket Sacrificed by misperception Sabotaged by misdirection We've been Bushwhacked We have been deceived And this round There's no exception There's no falling fragile In the fierce frontier Trade in your feathers For some landing gear Radar to red Now that right reads left The wind cracked my compa** And I've flown further from the nest Zoom in a little closer To the next uncertainty Baby bird constructs her home Amidst a hive of worker bees Well, to succeed at failure I suppose it's the risk that one takes You throw your eggs in a basket And hope they don't break This town is functional But not friendly Sagacious yet snide They'll throw a price on your potential Like some randy retail bride See my malfunction I am molting Destruction now on display Exploiting my exposure In 2-3 business days So I brace myself for the breakdown With wings barely intact Desperately decoding candor Weeding out the fiction From the fact There's no falling fragile In the fierce frontier Trade in your feathers For some landing gear Radar to red Now that time's a test The wind cracked my compa** And I've flown further from the nest There's no falling fragile In the fierce frontier Trade in your feathers For some landing gear Radar to red Now that east is west The wind cracked my compa** And I've flown further from the nest Silence deemed selfish So, I need to get this off my chest Claimed half my courage Now, I'm turning back to find the rest
