lyrics

Just another boy breathing in the gas life
Living by the bridge, the one with the spray paint
When I walk through the rain I contemplate a pattern
I’m smiling at the crows and blackbirds and the rats they are comrades oh
Arms around my neck and you should know I’m in control when I’m leaving or letting go
Colored perfected houses crowded into rows
And if the road rose to meet me would I navigate controls?
Just an only child choking on some new life
Swallowing aloud, life is intricate in a crowd
When I’m buried under snow it’s quiet like a heartache
I been feeling young as snow
There’s a white light
It’s a bloodhound
I’m a thousand years old
I’m right for the first time
Found a new home
Made a slow sound
You can have me if I can let me go
