lyrics

[Gods:]
When the village found the Fishman
Light of knowledge glimmered from his greasy eyes

[Fishman:]
Have you want of technology?

[Gods:]
They now rejoiced with newfound art
Oarless ships and oily lamps warmed their hearts
Viewing these things, they thought themselves smart
Bore the Fishman worthy honor from the start

[Fishman:]
Steer straight ‘cross the foamy waves
Lest they become a wat’ry grave
Please respect my native clan
Lay not on them your filthy hands

[Villager:]
We built ships that harnessed wind
Pulled by sails
Handsome ramparts do rise up to the skies
Prevent our demise
We shall not fail

Fishman brings ancient books telling
Of medicine
Potions keep us healthy, curing disease
Unnaturally
We become strong

We dug deep into the ground
For silver
We built war machines and vanquished our foes
Dealing them blows
We laid them low

[Gods:]
Civic bonds helped them lay down the law
Public forums raised their voices high
Oratory works filled them with awe
In triumph, they looked up at the sky

[Fishman:]
You have progressed far my friends
With great means but to what end?
How far do you want to go?
Birds don’t like machines, you know

[Gods:]
Passion for profit blocked empathy
Grimy concrete replaced all the trees
Growing weary of the people’s schemes
Fishman shattered all their vain dreams

[Fishman:]
You must relent on this day
I won’t teach lest we be prey
Pious Pilots
Patrol the stars

[Villager:]
Grimy Fish, you are a liar
From the deep
Scaly Monster, how you promised us power
Locked in this tower
You shall tell us

[Fishman:]
I will not relent
Nor divulge the secrets of the deep

[Gods:]
Using all his guile, he traced a line
From the window to the brine
To the brine

Using all his guile, he traced a line
(Using all his guile, he traced a line)
From the window to the brine
(Using all his guile, guile)
(Using all his guile, guile)
To the brine
(From the window to the brine)
(Guile, guile)
(Brine)

about

Languisher Berkeley, California

Lo-fi rock and metal eco-myths. Languish in wait for climate apocalypse.

Emerging from the languid depths of Berkeley, California's DIY scene, Languisher rub the edges of bedroom pop. They mix earnest vocals with a shifty amalgam of rock, black metal, shoegaze, and drone.

Languish.
