The sight of you among the signs
I get a sudden sinking feeling
Of a man about to fly
It never kept me up before
But now I've been awake for days
I can't fight it anymore
I'm going through an awkward phase
I am secretly in love with
Everyone that I grew up with
Do my crying underwater
And I can't get down any farther
All my drowning friends can see
Now there is no running from
It's become the crux of me
I wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down
With my demons
And I stay down
With my demons
Passing buzzards in the sky
Alligators in the sewers
I don't even wonder why
They hide among the underheels
Huddle with them all night long
The worried talk to god goes on
I sincerely tried to love her
Wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down
With my demons
I stay down
With my demons
Etc.
Can I stay here
I can sleep
On the floor
Paint a blood
And?
On the door
Do not think I'm going places anymore
I want to see the sun come up above New York
Oh, every day I start so great and then the sunlight dims
The less I look the more I see the pythons and the limbs
Do not know what's wrong with me
The sour's in the cup
But when I walk into a room
I do not light it up
Fuck
So I stay down with my demons, etc.
When I think of you in the city The sight of you among the signs I get a sudden sinking feeling Of a man about to fly It never kept me up before But now I've been awake for days I can't fight it anymore I'm going through an awkward phase I am secretly in love with Everyone that I grew up with Do my crying underwater And I can't get down any farther All my drowning friends can see Now there is no running from It's become the crux of me I wish that I could rise above it But I stay down With my demons And I stay down With my demons Passing buzzards in the sky Alligators in the sewers I don't even wonder why They hide among the underheels Huddle with them all night long The worried talk to god goes on I sincerely tried to love her Wish that I could rise above it But I stay down With my demons I stay down With my demons Etc. Can I stay here I can sleep On the floor Paint a blood And? On the door Do not think I'm going places anymore I want to see the sun come up above New York Oh, every day I start so great and then the sunlight dims The less I look the more I see the pythons and the limbs Do not know what's wrong with me The sour's in the cup But when I walk into a room I do not light it up Fuck So I stay down with my demons, etc. Explain Request ×
