lyrics

Look in the mirror, check my hair
Pocket my key and take the stairs
Down to the street

I see the markings of despair
On the sidewalks and in the square
It don’t look good

But there’s a glimmer in the pall
Under the writing on the wall
The shots of light

While I wonder where the lines are
How much more there is to take
Never so hard to draw the beauty
Never been so much at stake

In the disrupt of times like these
We can get lost among the things
That might be true

Behind the mask that blocks your face
All this fear wants to erase
The happy you

While I wonder where the lines are
How much more there is to take
Never so hard to draw the beauty
Never been so much at stake

How to change the tune
How to leave your room
How to make a case for your survival

Telephony pings
Online shiny things
Tired of just being happy I’m alive

Underneath all the bricks and bones
Everyone longs to have some hope
To pull them through

At the end of Main Street in the dark
Where the kids drink in the dark
They’re doing shots of light

While I wonder where the lines are
How much more there is to take
Never so hard to draw the beauty
Never been so much at stake
