As Thick As Oil

from The House Hippos [EP] by The House Hippos

lyrics

Just found you out
Your lies can no longer protect you
Tell me about
The plan you had for us oh no
Slowly break our heart
Creepin' through our skin
It's not like we haven't done this

Thrashin' through water fightin' 'gainst air
Everthing's perfectly normal 'round here
Yearning for something breaking all fear
Taking the lessons we learned through the years

Can you hear the sound
Of the people screaming your name
Take a look around
So you know what they actually see
A leader who leads
A fighter who bleeds
It's not like we haven't done this

Thrashin' through water fightin' 'gainst air
Everything's perfectly normal 'round here
Yearning for something breaking all fear
Taking the lessons we learned through the years

We're breaking away from you
We're takin' all we had
We've broken your fortress
Taken the keep
And we will rise as your coporation weeps
We've taken the fortress
Grabbing a hold
And we will ride to the sunset that we always knew
Take it away
Take it away
Why can't you honestly just...
