Myopia

Drip

drip

drop

bit by bit

It's the dulcet sound of the glacial melt

Accompanied by the Beluga

Singing about the hand they've been dealt

The Emperor and the Arctic Fox listen intently

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life

Yes

they're lost in myopia. Yes

they're lost in myopia"

Surrounded by ostriches with mouths full of sand

Their teeth grind the grains

but their faces don't contort

Perplexed

I am unable to breathe in their skin

We are all vertebrates but where is that backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet they hear him scream:

"They're living in denial of science

They're happy to defile silence

Yeah

they're living in denial of science

They're happy to defile silence"

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

Deprived is the polar bear

grasping at straws;

To safeguard dividends they depend on disbelief

Perplexed

I am unable to breathe in their skin

We are all vertebrates but where is that backbone now?

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

"I'm beginning to get glimpses of what is called real life"

He says

meaning misfortune

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet they hear him scream:

"They're living in denial of science

They're happy to defile silence

Yeah

they're living in denial of science

They're happy to defile silence"
