Cecil Otter - The Whale lyrics

All you ever seem to say is, “probably not today” And all you ever seem to do is come up with some new excuses And I was reaching out But hey, I can't wait forever And it's true, that new development Burning element took your home from you Forced your hand to move Nothing else to do High demand no other plan You've got everything to lose She's yelling always, all day She takes your sh** to the hallway You're quiet, you hide it But your eyes tell what you won't say You feel bad, smoke good Think about your own dad and how could you Carve your name in that rosewood You drink, you sniff, you pop That might get you through the evening God dam this hell is hot You flirt, you touch, you f** That might get you to the AM Might change a bit of luck It's that violence under your eyelids You swim to the closest island So busy emptying the bottle You didn't see the message You pa**ed over those pa**ing ships Staring at your wreckage And you closed every door While I was there Ready to step in All the noise can't prepare you for how quiet that storm gets The whale The whale The whale The harpoon The whale And I was mad at how you shut me out How many second chances that you get And f** up And I scream get over it Knuckle up you f**ing chump And I know enough But that's not enough You're loyal as a dog And you're sick as one as well You try to hide your eyes But everyone can tell You're so far beneath the floor that You can't even see the ceiling Waiting on that good old That good old feeling That knot in your pocket to stop you from sobbing Puts a block in your thoughts but it's not stopping your problems And I want to say something But I'm afraid that'll be nothing That all you'l hear is a judgement Like somehow I'm above it So I turn a cheek and I walk away But just this week I heard them say What you do with your pay And I felt pain, and I felt shame And I've done this once before When I tried to save my old man from chasing that fish out to sea But he was too far out of reach Lucky me, he hit bottom Washed up safely on the beach Not the same for Mikey R.I.P EYE I think about him every week I think about you even more Hoping you'll find peace at war Or tell yourself to cease fire I wrote this in place of writing you a eulogy So please excuse my use of— It's not my usually The whale The whale The whale The harpoon The whale
