The High Dials - Desiderata lyrics

I was a boy in a place not far from here Walled in from the noise There my nights were dark and clear Sweet suburban blackness Beautiful and true Nights like midnight ma**es Silent offerings to you Now I'm a hologram An image of the man I used to be at 17 Speak to me Talk to me Blind me with the boyhood myth I seek in you Can I return? Can I unlearn? Oh, I know it's wrong but I still go on Crawling back to you Crawling back to you I was a boy in a house not far from here I played the saddest joy You put music in my ear Shapeless teen desire Alcoholic dream Flow through headphone wires Love me do and set me free Now I'm a hologram An image of the man I used to be at 17 Used to be, used to be… I see the seasons pa**ing I feel the weight of wasted years I'm frightened by the feeling There is another city here And I can't find the exit 'Cause there's no way out on my feet There is a new devotion I must find it in my sleep
