Whaleback

The Bell County Silence

Whaleback

Lyrics for "Whaleback"
"It's here that we were born and it's here that we will die.
Our bones will become brick for future local lives."

And when I said, "I'm gone" and waved them all goodbye,
all the locals sang, so drunk and so polite,

"Do you think you can escape from such a shipwrecked life?"

And that's how you were born, a lump of mud and salt with the city on a whale beating through your heart.

"It's here that we were born and it's here that we will die."

And then I laughed so hard I swear I fell right down. Because I couldn't help but think how horrible that sounds.
