Buoy - The Joy Formidable

All the things you like

Guided by their charms

Behind them safety store

Wrap your greedy arms around them all

Sail

Don’t try to steer, just sail

You can be hell of a force

With the button to a broken man

Because you know I’m impatient

I’ve been hounded down before

The diving bell keeps surfacing

It doesn’t ring anymore

Did the little boy only get his orders from himself?

Did the whole world revolve his middle class act?

The girl next door hears voices in her head every night

The mother’s tears that he’s bringing home trash from the pile

You know I’m impatient

I’ve been hounded down before

The diving bell keeps surfacing

It doesn’t ring anymore

And you know I’m impatient

I’ve been hounded down before

The diving bell keeps surfacing

It doesn’t ring anymore

Wife still believes life settles like a stream of dust

Through the beams you lose you underneath

Did the little boy on his pedestal

And the girl next once the voice is gone

And did the whole world and the mother’s tears

Sink the sunshine on the back field?

The grasping hand is never full

And the perfect life is just damaged goods

And you should have talked and you should talk too

Because in twenty years you’ll be a fucking mute
