lyrics

Caved-in kitchen ceiling.
Half-raised by TV.
You and I heard the house screams.
Tonight we’re staying out late and
It builds tension like a wire

We’ve been around,
We saw houses burn down
Now I gotta see my own way,
The grief has gotten to me
It builds tension like a wire

No, I may never see you again, old friend
Don’t make this harder than it already is.
I want an abundance of life for you, my friend
But we must recognize our end.

Found you early along the way
Bound by shared self pity,
Ravaged by a city,
32 years of concrete
But I can’t drag you around
Until I’m a tragic figure on a fixed income
Living stagnant hell

Ditched my shadow back at the bridge
