Deer in headlights - Penguin suicide
00
Copied!
- act i -
{Verse 1}
I find a confort in the cold
But I'm shivering too much
I never had anyone to warm me up
So now im taking off alone
My cold hands my solemn demise
My cold breath a winterborn forest fire
My frigid hands they shatter and break at your touch
{Verse 2}
The cold hits my skin
The cold heats my skin
The clouds of smoke
Out my ragged breath
They stop coming out
Like a stomped out cigarette
I'm used to the cold now
Its getting harder to
Lift my feet off the ground
And every step is getting harder
{Pre-Chorus}
I love the way the wind blows
Like a wall of noise making me deaf
- act ii -
{Chorus}
There's this thing about people
They never run out of excuses to smile
But im going far away
And you won't see me for a little while
I've always felt like shit
I could never find a reason to smile
If only just to fake it
But you won't see me for a good while
{Verse 1}
The wind's gone silent
Things have gotten bleak
No water to
Even weep
I feel stinging dots
In my face
From shaving cuts
And waiting for this fade
For weeks i haven't had
A day where i didn't get midnight feeling sad
{Verse 2}
I watch cats play around
They're more interesting than us
They dont feel shame or empathy
Or any other human complex
This world is painfully saturated
For someone as bleak as me
Raindrops fall right on top of me
Fog so thick i can't even see
Mood's so fucked its black as ink
Brainfog's so thick i can't even think
Am i old enough
For melancholy
I have what i want
But not what i need
{Chorus}
There's this thing about people
They never run out of excuses to smile
But im going far away
And you won't see me for a little while
I've always felt like shit
I could never find a reason to smile
If only just to fake it
But you won't see me for a good while
{Post-Chorus}
I'm a lone penguin running through
An arctic tundra im not home to
The light at the end of the tunnel's dim
How much longer can you run
Your footsteps sound in the snow
How much longer can you run
How much longer can you run
How much longer can you run
- act iii -
{Bridge}
I know it hurts
But you just have to take the next step
(Ad infinitum)
- act iv -
{Narrated}
(Is there such thing as insanity among penguins
I try to avoid the definition of insanity or derangement
I dont mean that a penguin might believe he or she is lenin or napoleon bonaparte
But could they just go crazy because they had enough of their colony
(...)
Uhh, well, ive never seen a penguin bashing its head against a rock
Uhm, they do get disoriented - they end up in places they shouldn't be in, a long way from the ocean
(...)
These penguins are all heading to the open water to the right
But one of them caught our eye, the one in the centre
Who would neither go torwards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice nor return to the colony
Shortly afterwards, we saw him headed straight for the mountains
Some 70km away
(...)
Stand still and let him go on his way
(...)
He is heading towards certain death)
- act v -
They want an encore
But i think i'm ready to leave
{Verse 1}
I find a confort in the cold
But I'm shivering too much
I never had anyone to warm me up
So now im taking off alone
My cold hands my solemn demise
My cold breath a winterborn forest fire

{Verse 2}

The cold heats my skin
The clouds of smoke

And every step is getting harder
