lyrics
You want me, but you want me stuck,
feeding the fire for every evening forthcoming.
I was a child when we met.
I'm not a king yet, but I'm getting better at keeping my head.
I think you'd rather be queen of what's left.
Thin light casts a small town silhouette.
I slip silently to deep sleep.
Lips part to make meaning but don't speak,
down here in the dark where truths go for cheap, nothing's free.
I want to to swim in a sea of modern means.
I had enough of the hills of green.
Give me an urban scene, I want the common dream
to love and be seen.
I try not to fight the weather, sure as the sun she slights me.
I try not to fight the traffic, just another cell along an artery.
I try not to covet, I'm writing the book on unfeeling that feeling.
I try not to shiver, but I can see the bottom from here,
not far now and getting near.
You want me, but you want me stuck
feeding the fire for every evening forthcoming.
