Basilisk Lyrics by The Pica Beats

Better In Color

2011

[Verse 1]
We are all in this together today
But in three we will go our separate ways
We are lizards just a-basking in the sun
Come winter we will die off one by one
We are born, we are bred to live at speed
We are secretly the slowest growing weed
Watch everything around us bloom and die
We gave up our green leaves for our green eyes
[Chorus]
And all that remains of us
We all know that the witches' broom
Is made out of splintеrs of doom
But pay no mind to the evil inside
Thеy will carry you home
With every new shape of the shepherd's tongue
Sheep, they all get up and run
But with a call their leader, the wolf
They will shear their own wool
And they'll die cold
[Verse 2]
We will find that the knots are all untied
And only are suspended in our mind
Free to swing about and fall at will
Free to rest our feet on windowsills
For all these little keys there is no hole
For all this [?] tea there is no bowl
So drink another winter in my arms
And dedicate some gin to all my charms
[Chorus]
And all that remains of us
We all know that the witches' broom
Is made out of splinters of doom
But pay no mind to the evil inside
They will carry you home
With every new shape of the shepherd's tongue
Sheep, they all get up and run
But with a call their leader, the wolf
They will shear their own wool
And they'll die cold
[Outro]
My whole life
It is much more elemental
Built less on rules of humankind
My door
It is close to relative zero
But the cold air somehow got inside
My whole life
It is much more elemental
Built less on rules of humankind
My door
It is close to relative zero
But the cold air somehow got inside
My whole life
It is much more elemental
Built less on rules of humankind
My door
It is close to relative zero
But the cold air somehow got inside
