The Pelican Floods the Earth

He has two glass eyes
And a mouth full of kerosene
A cardboard face
But the thickest skin

I
Mean
The opposite

Let pelicans carry the weight of the sea
So he doesn’t have to feel small
Survey the crater that lay before him
And know he’s lost it all.

His idols are just talking heads
With a puppet’s sense of make-believe
With wooden hands
And such wooden words

I
Mean
The opposite

Let pelicans carry the weight of the sea
So he doesn’t have to feel small
Survey the crater that lay before him
And know he’s lost it all.
Show him space through a microscope
He loves to see nothingness
Approach the stars, with burning poise
And the canvas becomes ashes

Mirror-skin, is blinding in the sun!

These pelicans, are too distracted, and drop the rain!

A storm of an endless sea...

Drenching you, and drenching me...

Bring...ing us...back...to...LIFE!

And how can the wait be so long
When pencils and paint are the tools of the trade
We’ll sharpen our wit, to take jabs at a stranger
And I used to be great at painting my anger

Hold on to relics, then punch like a rabbit
They’ll sell us all the future, but only sell him a habit
We can’t hold a candle, lest risk getting burned
But become the fire, and conquer the earth when the...

RAIN...comes from the mouths of
Pelicans

Dig a well as deep as the ocean
The pelicans vanish, filter the rain down
A glimmering trench that grows as big as a city
And it’s personal
Personal

This is beyond beautiful- I can't explain why, but I feel a sense of despair and urgency in these words. Something sad yet beautiful, almost nostalgic. Of course, I may be completely wrong. But, for whatever it's worth, your talent did not go unnoticed to me. I wish we could write a song together

I also wrote some songs here.

In all honesty, that's the perfect feeling for this song. I wrote it as a way of criticizing how a lot artists tend to write straightforward, cardboard lyrics with no real substance, or try to preach ideas or protest or argue through lyrics (while, I, myself am a culprit, because that IS a point of the medium as well) but couldn't a song just exist as imagery constructed in such a way as to evoke emotions? A lot of the song is full of symbolism that originally meant nothing at all, until deconstructing the song after the writing process. Essentially, the song symbolizes an idea, while the words themselves mean nothing at all.

I very much appreciate the response though. I'll be sure to check out your lyrics.

Thanks, I value the input of anyone who can truly write (such as yourself). I early await your comments on my lyrics

By the way, do you play any instrument?
