Myopia Lyrics - The Mindsweep - Enter Shikari

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 

"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 their backbone now? 

As the Emperor watches his numbers plummet 

They hear him scream; 

"They're living in denial of science 

They're happy to defile, silence" 

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 their backbone now?
