I dreamt last night that I had fled And woke up chasing sleep again The blankets taped up to the blinds Now droop and dangle from one side The city's still in rust It's still chewing up all that I love The city's still in rust It's still chewing up all that I love Don't want the sun to glare through The sprawl wants me to stick And strangle me with it's streets It wants me to acknowledge it
Thank it for all it's done Like a surface to stand on Like a surface to stand on But I don't owe it anything I grew up faster than I wanted to But I don't owe it anything I grew up faster than I wanted to I sprouted from a stem and bloomed Despite the light that leaks into my room One day I swear I'll flee I'll escape this town I'll drag it's chains with me Sundered from the ground
