When Distance Is The Closest Reminder

LET’S JUST PRETEND FOR A SECOND that nothings wrong and we’ve grabbed horizons
by the throat and moved along
BYPASS EVERYTHING THAT DRAGGED US OUT INTO THE LIGHTS, and while your around
here’s that kiss goodnight
Slow dance in the dark for old times sake, while we leave death in her own wake.
Crawling home with the headlights on, we scrape the skin from bone and
disregard. (the city is our guide)
The city is our guide, all the way home, our guide home and how it used to be,
(slowing down life within me) and how it used to be,
(slowing down life within me) avenge your thoughts, (reclaim) avenge your life
(reclaim)
HERE IS MY VOICE OF RETRIEVAL, that brings me back to the greatest stance I had
before weight slowed it down.
AND TOOK AWAY THE PACE I HAD with no apologies but if I’m still down help me
get off my damn knees.
The city is our guide all the way home (our guide) SCRAPE THE SKIN FROM BONE
AND DISREGARD, THE CITY IS OUR GUIDE,
ALL THE WAY HOME, (OUR GUIDE) SCRAPE THE SKIN FROM BONE AND DISREGARD,
THE CITY IS OUR GUIDE.
