lyrics

Oceanographer

I'm not so different from you, a little worn down but that's okay.
The waves will ask for me someday.

It's a low lit hideout. Awkward energy that creaks through the floor.
Tattered sails and a pile of charted maps,
a planned escape that I never shared before.

A skeleton crew of two with X's scattered on walls.
No reason is taking us back.
Let’s navigate the minefields, the remains of an ancient war.
Let's try not to explode!

Another long night, another long night.
You can catch your breath, catch your breath.
Another long night. Another long night.
Casual sinners setting sail in the face of dead gods.

The coldest of storms taught well,
“Don’t ever give up. Don’t ever let go.”
This broken compass, time worn maps.
Stay true.

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
