Dreamed of living in the city
Where there's people who care
But life is colder, and I'm stuck inside a crowd
Can't you see you're tearing me apart?
Romantic visions of gazing at the sky
But the stars won't fall for us
Romanticise the time you know I'll never spend
And sell it to me.
But when you've no one else to call
You'll call me
When you're out there on your own
I'm here
And I never seem to learn
So teach me
Where do we go from here?
I've seen the movies and this is where it all
Treats me like, I know that I deserve
I've gave you everything, but you're never satisfied
How much more do you require?
And when I've no one else to call
I wander
Past the people and their cars
And their habitual consumption
And when you've killed all of the words
I'm silent
My "identity" is yours
So dress it
Up in rainbow painted shorts
And while you're at it
Where do we go from here?
I'm unsure of myself, and I'm beginning to doubt that another empowering t-shirt mass-produced by a team of unpaid, unempowered woman in
Sri Lanka is going to provide me any clarity.
Central Business District, why do you punish me?

I walk home in the darkness
Another example, of why I stay inside
And stop pretending I'm an extrovert
I'm alive in an old hotel
Or a night in, among strangers, when I could barely feel the ground
Or a blizzard, when the car (van) broke down
I sit here in silence
Life's just on hiatus for another year
Because the world's not, like I thought it was

Your silence overwhelms me, sometimes
When the skyline burns so brightly, in the night
And the crowds they never stop
But still you breathe
And still I breathe, despite everything
This is more than this place
You could run away tomorrow, if you'd like
And I wonder if it'd faze me, at all
You could tear a hole in my heart, and still I'd breathe
And still I breathe, despite everything
This is more than I know
This is more than love

I beg at your feet
But I never see light
I close all the doors because there's nothing in your world
That appeals to me
And my heart skips a beat
But it doesn't compare
To when I'm all alone and I'm sorry I'm not your type
I'm losing my faith in you
A tale incomplete
But any day now
You'll drop to your knees and see angels are falling
Down to earth tonight.

I know that it's late
But I want to walk you home
I'll go to your place
Just to hear you say
This is more than words
That it's more than me
I know that it's late
But the traffic won't stay still
I'll go your place
But it always ends the same
This is just real life
It's just one more night
But it's so hard
To run in the dark
Are you here with me?
Or are you catching shelves?
And I want you, but I don't have the time
Am I here to stay?
Or are you getting to me?
I could overthink this
When the light just flashes blue
I'll go to your place
Even if it's nothing like I thought

I walk slightly slower now
I'm like an old cartoon
How do I know if I'm feeling this?
When I know it's coincidence
Most of the time I'm serious
I'll find an appropriate distance from you

In my mind
I'm running through a summer haze and you
Burn bright
But I've got to tell you these dreams all turn around
There's an army coming to tear away my house
I fall
From a concrete world to your bitter company
A revolution's coming of noise and cars and waste and constant screaming out for sleep
I don't want you in my head and everywhere I go
There's another nightmare to endure
And you don't understand but I want out this dream
I'll take your place tonight if you'll let me
What kind of lies can I tell myself?
To sleep tonight
This city has broke me down
And when this nightmare is over
I'll probably forget
I can see for miles and miles
And I can go for hours and hours
Just watching you breathe

Don't you go changing when you're out there in the real world
Between the dizzying heights of living
And the emptiness as you hit the ground
Days transformed to weeks are unrelenting
As you beg the sky not to make that sound
And in the spaces between my smiling
There's a hesitation that starts to grow
You're just a mutation of self-loathing
I'm just far too willing to let this go
But everyone's so fucking moral
When they get the chance
For something so pointless
But I won't mind
I don't know what to believe in
Or if my faith is true
And I pray that I won't falter
But I don't know you

Outside

Inhale because you know it's the end of an era
Inside these walls nothing could pull us apart
But we've been falling all this time
Maybe I want to go outside
You look like tonight's your only saviour
Rain keeps falling out our feet
Until there's nothing left for us to be
We're two laughs away from breaking apart
Because everything we say means nothing
And I heard him say
People are like seasons, and that made sense to me
Because they come with the wind, as the tide rolls in
And suddenly you're living your best life
But everyone is bound to be leaving
Maybe someday next week we'll be somewhere else
Maybe it'll take a year before we say a word
But does that mean the last days together just were?
Summer comes and you know we'll never be the same
Rain keeps falling at my feet

You say the craziest things
When we're alone in these streets
So why waste our time with goodbyes?
We've said enough through the years
When I'd go chasing daydreams you'd follow behind
I know you know, there's no point faking anymore
I'm leaving today
These streets just bring you to me
If we meet ten years from today
Will I be the same broken home?
Will I still see you in vision of what life could be?
Earth is shaking, will I see you again?
