I Can't Spell Caribbean - Don Middlebrook & The Pearl Divers

This place is a trap. The outside has been choked off. The brilliance of it is that we can't seem to tell. Put bars up around me. I'll see them right now. Trap me with words, I'll swear I built it myself. Manufactured consent through passive means. A pervasive and constant lullaby about choice. This can't be true cause there's only one side. You're gonna have to do better cause I won‘t lose my mind. They say love these walls cause without them we'd fall. But this thinking's so small. We only live, despite them all. Your cages won't save us, they're no help at all. We know you're fucking wrong. Please save me she says and looks to the sky, but the sky doesn't answer and the girl doesn't fly. She crosses herself, sits back on the floor. Rocks while she cries. Still believing the stories. There is nothing worth saving that can't be taken away. This tyranny is fuckin smooth. The old methods are gone. You think your voice is getting through cause you can vote or wave a sign. You're gonna have to do better if you intend to keep your mind. They say love these walls cause without them we'd fall but this thinking is so small. We only live despite them all. Your cages won't save us, they're no help at all. We know you're fucking wrong! We can see it! Cruel! We resent it! Relentless, invasive! You can't fool me. I'm confused by rules. They're never precise enough for me. It doesn't matter how far you take them, they're never gonna be. I need a place where everyone can see, but I'm not kidding myself. I know it's just a dream. Right now is all I've got. So I won't be caught. You can fuck yourself, you can't fool me. You can fuck yourself, you can't fool me. You can fuck yourself, you can't fool me. They say love these walls cause without them we'd fall but this thinking is so small. We only live despite them all. Your cages won't save us, they're no help at all. We know you're fucking wrong! They say love these walls cause without them we'd fall but this thinking is so small. We only live despite them all. Your cages won't save us, they're no help at all. We know you're fucking wrong! We can see it! Cruel! We resent it! Relentless, invasive! You can't fool me.

It's a It's a request from Where were all those dreams we shared Those many years ago? What were all those plans we made now Left beside the road? Behind us there are no more All them friends, I always pledged 'Cause friends they come and go People change, as does everything I wanted to grow old I just want to grow old Slide up next to me I'm just a human being I will take the blame But just the same This is not me You see? Believe I'm better than this Don't leave me so cold I'm buried beneath the stones I just want to hold on And know I'm worth your love Enough I don't think There's such a thing It's my fault now Having caught a sickness in my bones How it pains to be leaving you here With the kids on your own Just don't let me go Help me see myself 'Cause I can no longer tell Looking out from the inside Of the bottom and well It's hell I yell But no one hears before I disappear Whisper in my ear Give me something to echo In my unknown future's ear My dear The end Is near I'm here But not much longer
