lyrics

the smell of gas stains
hours drained away
off the worn down edge
to the river’s dredge

old thoughts drop like flies
from the reach of my mind
shrunk like the atoms we can’t find
imaginary sublime

we should be in our prime
transcending our time
but like thickets in a rhyme
our powers subside

now there’s freeways i can’t hide
and a bridge that i can’t find
I follow lights slung through the air
like a tired strung out stare

we’ve got water in our shoes
babies born blue as chicago
coming out they sing for air
but the breath just isn’t there

and if we were broke as bone
then I would push for big reform


if our spirits are bruised
I see why they shoot
it’s making them crazy
to stand in our shoes

pulling teeth at the root
sinking in truth
if he don’t seem to try
he’s already died

we should be in our prime
transcending our time
but like thickets in a rhyme
our powers subside

now there’s places I can hide
Gonna bridge my darker side
the shallow lights aren’t even there
i am tired, strung out bare

we’ve got water in our lungs
cause we couldn’t make the hollow
coming up we try for air
but the breath just isn’t there

and if we were broke as bone
then I would do this alone
