lyrics

Six month march to my own exile
Now I'm all alone, save for this city
Golden gates speak while you stay silent
Brick walkways don't ask for my pity
Desert sands? No, no not here
I'd really prefer them to all this green
And I know that you'd agree

I lose myself in the view from my window
Forget my room is full of piss filled bottles
The earth is flat, and I won't step out
For fear of falling off
Leave the blinds wide open
So the morning sun can peer right in

Six month march to my own exile
Now I'm all alone, save for this city
Golden gates speak while you stay silent
Brick walkways don't ask for my pity
But this city has been without hot water
For three whole weeks
They say that when it rains it pours
Well another cold shower, is just what I need

I lose myself in the view from my bed
Forget my room is filled with piss filled bottles
The earth is flat, and I won't step out
For fear of falling off
Leave the blinds wide open
So the morning sun can sear right in

Let's just be honest and sit in silence
Because what doesn't need to be said
Doesn't need to be said
