Ben Goldsmith - I Was a Nautilus Lyrics

I never thought up any part of this
None of it artifice
I never imagined this
Opulent confidence
I never felt like there was providence
I was a nautilus
It was obstiance until
Uou knocked down my defences
Seems like you always know what the plot is
What the secret sauce is
Sometimes in the darkness I can't find the on switch
Like I can't keep up with this

It feels like time moves to slow for me
Can't keep in line those ducks in a row for me
Must feel like I haven't done enough lately
Sometimes I'm just caught upstream

If you stretch a reel of film around a carousel
It goes 'round 'round the same thing
The same stupid horse up and down
Never changing
If I could splice a different image in
Not to get all tangled in
Lest you see the same stupid kid
Retching endlessly (round round round)
Seems like you always know where the off is
In this carnival language
You emerge from the blur with your arm stretched
You clean up my mess
And I don't deserve this
And it feels like

It feels like time moves to slow for me
Can't keep in line those ducks in a row for me
Must feel like I haven't done enough lately
Sometimes I'm just caught upstream
