Magpie by The Marble Arches Lyrics
Magpie
I sometimes wish that I was unwanted
Afterbirth
Spilled out on filth that should have stayed on my fingers
So I took a knife through butter
I thought about the consequence of going under
But for fear of trying
And getting my clothes dirty
Magpie
My confession is falsified
Shortlist for denial and invite
The Caligulate hail Incitatus
But dear sky
Surely I deserve the right?
Beyond a caring look or glance
That crippled me deeply
If you don't like this then look away
Spread for miles over a water bay
Double standards
They, are, shifting demerara
While i’m stuck in the shade
Magpie
Where is your pair?
Will you promise to not cross me on flights of stairs
So when i least expect it
My internals are leaking
I confide
Point a laser at a plane
Promise me you'll never come back again
Headfirst, white spider
And my chest will cave in
You lied, heavy prompts and editing
Truth be told i'm not one to request
Cellar door at the right price
And I lose a dimension
I sometimes wish that I was unwanted
Afterbirth
Spilled out on filth that should have stayed on my fingers
So I took a knife through butter
I thought about the consequence of going under
But for fear of trying
And getting my clothes dirty
Magpie
My confession is falsified
Shortlist for denial and invite
The Caligulate hail Incitatus
But dear sky
Surely I deserve the right?
Beyond a caring look or glance
That crippled me deeply
If you don't like this then look away
Spread for miles over a water bay
Double standards
They, are, shifting demerara
While i’m stuck in the shade
Magpie
Where is your pair?
Will you promise to not cross me on flights of stairs
So when i least expect it
My internals are leaking
I confide
Point a laser at a plane
Promise me you'll never come back again
Headfirst, white spider
And my chest will cave in
You lied, heavy prompts and editing
Truth be told i'm not one to request
Cellar door at the right price
And I lose a dimension
