Venetian Blind Man (Song)

Squints out of his window
He don't want to see
Venetian blind man
No one else to be

Talleyrand forces come down from high ground
Looks up at high horses
"Well, we're safe for now"

And he says, "Oh, woah woah"
"It's only an omen"
"Oh, woah woah"
"Stay in the moment"

Private walls close in and cup their ears now
Trust us, we've got ways to make them talk
I've read the writing
How do these things lock?

String on his finger
A tourniquet ring
Venetian blind man, memory loaded on springs

Forward's behind him
In the future that sneaks up
Keepеrs become finders
What's worth weeping ovеr's worth taking

Oh, woah woah
Sky is falling
Oh, woah woah
Catch or it all ends

Lord knows I've said awful things 'round this house
They echo through the frame and six feet down
What killed the dead end?
Burn it to the ground

Oh, woah woah
Lose out or give out
Oh, woah woah
Give up or live down

Oh, woah wo-o-o-oah
Nobody chose it
Woah, woah woah
Well, nobody knows it
Better than I do

Feet, don't fail me now the ways my eyes did
Mind, don't snap and heart, don't break, not now
No, not like this, any but this breakdown

Venetian blind man
Venetian blind man
Venetian blind man
Venetian blind man
Venetian blind man
