lyrics

...

The car is moving but the trees are still
I been drowning for weeks, I’m drowning still
And all I see is bad

The wind is colder than I’ve ever felt
The sun seems weak, could it ever melt
I never wanted spring so bad

This smell of cigarettes and sweat
Can’t get away from it
And this city feels the same as it always did
But I wish that you were here


This darkness rides again


I don’t think you’ve ever been to Baltimore
It’s grey and bent like a broken door
Without you nothing’s the same
Steeples to the unknown gods,
I will tell you their names…


Can I take much more
