Slum

lyrics

I was born six days ago
quick to be told
that I should close my mind
To hopes of seeing what Id left behind
So now I'm matching stray words with a face I know I've met
Trying syllables I swore I could forget
the later forties seemed to pass
While I was sat still
and asked to just move on
The decades fled and so has everyone

There's more to this, there's more to that
I've come here
to find you at your worst
Don't tell anybody that we're cursed
So I just stumble, let the damp earth meet my head
What I took still pains me to possesses
I keep pretty quiet when they
ask me like a baby
are you lost
No my friend, Im just learning to walk
They all say what I could be
So I should leave
so I should move my feet
No my friend, I first must learn to speak

Break the city limit
Just to stay alive
follow the coast to Norfolk
where someday Ill get wise
Break the city limit
all exits wide
the promise of an optimist
will keep my spirit high


The way you whispered get
your things
Its getting dark
Its almost time to leave
made me feel I knew you to the teeth
