Lyrics
Settling
Like a thousand pigeons around a statues feet
Steal away
With the stale crumbs a senile old man offers everyday
Like the blue water in that fountain around her
Everything must repeat
Like how I come back to this statue tarnished and green
Wishing she'd step right out of the concrete
To an arhythm
A rest
In the earth's rotation
But she remains
Like she was raised
Like we're all caged
In the same blue and green
This park is all about appearances
The grounds are tended to everyday
But the same grasses grown and the same people show
And they're sharing the same complaints
Sometimes I wish this blue and green planet
Would just stop turning around
And take a good look at itself in the sun
We all like watching things burn down
To an arhythm
A rest
In the earth's rotation
But she remains
Like she was raised
Like we're all caged
In the same blue and green
Settling
Like a thousand pigeons around a statue's feet
