Oozlum

I broke down

On the road to the isle of grain

Slept in the ochre

Field all day

Waiting for rescue

But nobody came

But for the backward

Bird

My way

Oozlum

What now?

Tomorrow's on your tail and

No more bail out

Too scared to face

What you fear

But stare at the past too long, to there you'll disappear

I formed a mirror of obsidian

Here in my forehead

The year my second life begun

I scry with that black eye

The stations of the sun

Through a glass darkly

But at least I know where I'm going

Oozlum

Turn round

Tomorrow's on your tail

Yesterday's a blackout

Too scared to face

What you fear

But stare at the past too long, to there you'll disappear

You’re spiralling

Too fast to catch you

The way is not round

But through

I've been talking to

The horizon

Made it promise

To call your name

Oozlum

Oozlum

Oozlum

Oozlum

And if help never arrives, I'll learn to hot wire

And towrope you out of your widening gyre

Fate is a risk you can recalculate

So keep your boot on the neck of the night

Wait

Wait
