Wants / Needs

With headphones on the streets are silenced
Cars hum along to disrupt the quiet
You learn a lot about a place, when you see it without a sun
You search for a shred of innocence but realize there is none
The open gutters, collecting water
The unbreathable air, we’re all aware
You learn a lot about a place, when you see it for what it is
It loses it feel of mystery and any hope that is can…
Give me a reason not to just start screaming out loud
You can’t convince me
What I want and what I need are separate things
All those distractions they’ll beg us to stay
We’ll give new meaning to running away
